Current CFO Richard “Rick” G. Lindner has been with AT&T since 1986. He has played a key role in many strategic decisions by providing the necessary financial analyses. The most recent example is the U-verse endeavor. In an interview, Lindner discussed the growth of U-Verse and his future predictions for the financial stability of the company.
Our expectation for U-Verse is to continue to, market permitting, grow at the kind of rates you’ve seen us grow over the last four to five quarters. In just about all U-verse markets, penetration tends to increase at one percentage point per month.
