AT&T’s CEO explains how drones are one part of a ’really good business’

AT&T (T) is trying to help first responders during natural disasters by using things like drones to provide cell service. AT&T CEO John Stankey says it’s “been a really good business for us.“ “We were under penetrated in the public sector before we started this effort. We’ve now got five million devices that we’ve sold into various agencies and first responder entities,“ Stankey says. On pricing, Stankey says the company is offering “more value to a customer than ever before,“ adding that he thinks his company’s plans are “incredibly competitive.“ When it comes to the ongoing discussion about lead cables, Stankey says the company has been working with regulators to try to understand what the Wall Street Journal was looking at when it filed its report. According to Stankey, “the data points that have come out since then suggests that we were correct. There isn’t a public safety crisis.“ Click here for more of Yahoo Finance’s coverage from the Goldman Sachs Communacopia tech conference. #AT&T #youtube #stockmarket Subscribe to Yahoo Finance: About Yahoo Finance: At Yahoo Finance, you get free stock quotes, up-to-date news, portfolio management resources, international market data, social interaction and mortgage rates that help you manage your financial life.
