Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Following a period of investment, AT&T will hold a nationwide 5G wireless network with deep spectrum behind it and a fiber network capable of reaching around half of the US population. No carrier can match these assets.
Bears
The cost of maintaining dominance in the wireless industry by controlling spectrum has been costly. AT&T has spent more than $60 billion since 2020 on licenses with few prospects for incremental growth.
