AT&T (T) executive says average deployment cost per fibre passing increased at approximately 2% annually - conference call.

AT&T's executive remarks on a rising average deployment cost for fiber passing suggest an increasing financial burden that could impact margins and capital allocation moving forward. If deployment costs are rising faster than anticipated, this might hinder their expansion plans and affect overall profitability, possibly influencing investor sentiment and future earnings guidance.
