Speaking at the Goldman Sachs tech conference, AT&T CEO John Stankey responded to a recent series of stories on lead-covered cables
AT&T CEO John Stankey says the telecommunications company continues to work with regulators on the potential need to remediate lead-sheathed cables, but that the company “does not believe there is a public health crisis,” a concern that has emerged following a recent series of stories in the Wall Street Journal.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, Stankey said the company has taken steps to understand the issues the Journal has raised, but that AT&T feels like the Journal was “over-writing their headlines “ by suggesting the issue pointed to considerable risk to the health of both the public and AT&T employees.
“We will continue to work with regulators, and we will make adjustments if required,” he said. “But we don’t believe there is a public health crisis, and we believe we’ve been responsible … We will work collaboratively to make sure our communities and employees are safe.”
