The only reason to buy this is because of its very high dividend. After 20 years, you are back where you started with this, but all along the way you have collected a good dividend. This company has some massive issues, because the costs for cell phone usage keeps coming down, and that is not a good model when your revenues keep coming down. Their debt was downgraded and is now rated as a BBB. The dividend is safe now, but someday you worry whether that will continue. He likes dividends, but he also likes dividend increases.
