Debt and Earnings
Stephenson told reporters that he is expecting to lower AT&T’s debt in one year. He thinks that the debt will be at normal levels in about four years.
A few analysts are concerned about the debt that AT&T had to take on to buy Time Warner.
According to Stephenson, AT&T is planning to invest more in HBO, the TV channel that produces one of the most popular shows, Game of Thrones.
Questions from the American People:
- How much downsizing will AT&T do to Time Warner as they absorb the company?
- What can AT&T do to change their streaming service in the coming year? How will their purchase of Time Warner affect other streaming and cable services? How will they attract consumers to their service?
