Telecom stocks are the absolute last thing I'll ever invest in again.
I'm under NDE about my present soon-to-be-former employer, but, the
general idea of telecom management is "we're profitable so let's buy
the competition." When the engineers say "Okay, look, you can buy
the competition but you have to be able to support their network and
their customer base," they're basically persona non grata. One
month, your $1000/month business T-1 service is working perfectly or
if it goes down, somebody can fix it for you immediately and the
next, there's a 45-minute hold time for support and nobody's sure
which part of the network you're on. Customers go to elsewhere, the
executives collect huge-ass severances and move on and the company
reputation is basically ruined.


Unfortunately, that phenomenon exists throughout the business world,
not just in telecommunications.


You're an idiot. Fjuktjard.
