The AT&T CEO told a Goldman Sachs conference in San Francisco on Sept. 9 about the company’s effort to become an all-fiber network owner with a hugely valuable wireless network to boot. “We need to get rid of all the leases that are associated with those offices that we don’t need anymore. And oh, by the way, there’s a bunch of copper out there. It probably makes AT&T the fifth-largest copper mine in the United States right now. Seriously,” Stankey said. And AT&T plans to extract that copper and make money off it. Copper prices are up about 21% year to date, reaching record levels, according to a report by Yahoo Finance. “That copper needs to come out, it needs to be monetized. And that monetization allows us to pay for the work, to shut down all that infrastructure, rip out the main frames, and do all the things we need to do, to wind up leading this decade as a fantastic metropolitan fiber company with a kick ass wireless network,” Stankey said. ** _(More after paywall)_** AT&T CEO ****John Stankey**** ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now

Hello everyone, With the recent craze of vibe coding, I decided to try my hand and build an app. I built ClearWave Cast Player, an iOS app that is screen reader based with minimal visual elements. This app will let you: • Play podcasts imported from an OPML file • Play radio stations from around the globe • Play offline MP3 files I'm totally blind, and I enjoy podcasts and all other forms of audio media. Many of the apps available to the blind and low vision community either have screen reader compatibility issues, don't work well, or are loaded with advertisements. I don't believe you should have to pay a subscription fee for something we can all enjoy. Please feel free to test out my app on TestFlight and share any feedback there. Thank you so much, and I hope everyone is having a great day! :-) https://testflight.apple.com/join/RVpsHcMf
