Hossein Eslambolchi, AT&T's chief technology officer and president of AT&T Labs once said:

"What Skype is doing is like a toy. They will realize they can't scale it, they don't have a brand like the AT&T brand, and they don't have the local footprint, which we have. It's going to be very hard to compete with someone like AT&T."

Now, honestly, do we really care about the AT&T brand?
