Haven’t they heard of the telephone?
AT&T is moving its headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas - San Antonio Business Journal:
AT&T Inc., the world’s largest telecom company, is moving its corporate headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas.
In a statement released this afternoon, AT&T says the move is meant to help it gain better access to its customers and operations throughout the world, and to the key technology partners, suppliers, innovation and human resources needed as it continues to grow, domestically and internationally.
I remember what a big deal AT&T putting their headquarters in San Antonio was and that the city bent over backwards for them. Now, if memory serves they were given tax breaks beyond belief that all had a shelf life. Aren’t those tax breaks about to expire? I remember the thinking was that it would be great for the city because they would stay beyond those deadlines and the city would rake in the taxes after that. Hmmmm, being close to two airports really does sound like an enormous bit of garbage doesn’t it? Mr. Dig was quick to ask after the news reported AT&T needed to be in Dallas to have better access to their global customers, “Haven’t they heard of the telephone?”
