AT&T: "We don't want these plans included because they're obsolete and they're not the ones we are actively marketing".

Also AT&T: "But we are absolutely selling them, obsolete or not, and signing up new customers in areas where that's their option, because we've decided it's not viable to upgrade them. We just don't want them counted."

Is there a good solution for areas where it will never be profitable to run lines?

I mean my company is getting a big local subsidy for a short distance point-to-point connection and it’s still costing us about a million dollars for construction and we still have to pay a monthly maintenance fee.

They were given $Billions to run those lines anyway. And they didn’t.
