AT&T Now is a "Modern Media Company"

This slide from the AT&T quarterly earnings call tells you quite a lot about how AT&T sees itself, and how differently it sees itself from its past. AT&T is said to be “a modern media company.” The building blocks of that business include content, advertising, distribution networks and high-speed networks.

Sure, AT&T has business (enterprise) operations and assets in Latin America and Mexico. Its single biggest revenue generator still is consumer mobility. But all those assets are infrastructure to support content, advertising and distribution, AT&T now emphasizes.
