More From Allan C Nichols

We believe Comcast will struggle to generate a decent return on its investment.

Wireless results improved, but AT&T's entertainment struggles continued.

The narrow-moat firm is having some success cross-selling wireless service with video, but we don't believe the success justifies the price paid for Direct TV.

The carrier now has the ability to offer all services on its own network.

Its increasing scale provides opportunities for future growth.

Despite recent struggles in Latin America, the company looks set for improving margins and returns on capital.
