AT&T CEO Eyes Lead Spot in U.S. Fiber Expansion

WASHINGTON, September 10, 2024 – AT&T CEO John Stankey remains bullish on fiber.

At a Goldman Sachs conference Tuesday, Stankey said his company would push ahead with fiber “using every tool in the box,” even considering “public-private partnerships with the government.”

To rapidly accelerate its fiber expansion beyond its existing footprint, AT&T has so far employed a range of strategies, including full ownership, joint ventures, and third-party open access.
