A changed company. Older business model was volume-based, now has a bit more of an entrepreneurial spirit and is a bit more growthy. Cutting back on getting the customer at any price to a higher-quality customer. New focus is turning up in cashflow. Returning a lot of cash to investors, lots of buybacks.
Defensive play. Yield is 5.67%.

This gives a comfort and sense of security, and is a service we all use, especially in the US. They are large and pay a big dividend. However, the stock chart shows it hasn’t done much for a while. It has really gone sideways for several years at around $50. Other than the dividend, there hasn’t been any real capital appreciation. They are going through a transition. They were a telephone company initially, then a mobile cell phone company, and now getting heavily into media and transitioning once again. With their acquisitions, there is risk. If you own, he would suggest switching to Canadian telcos instead because of the dividend tax credit.
