AT&T will slash $3 billion off its capital investments in 2020
AT&T is planning to spend just $20 billion on capital investment in 2020, down from $23 billion in 2019. The company is under pressure from investors to control spending, in part because its TV business is tanking and because of AT&T's giant debt load stemming from the purchases of DirecTV and Time Warner. AT&T increased capital investment between 2018 and 2019, but its 2020 outlook would push the company's spending to lower than its 2018

Although the Federal Communications Commission abandoned its regulation of network neutrality, it wouldn't be accurate to say there are no net neutrality laws anywhere in the US. No one enforces net neutrality in Washington, DC, but on the opposite coast, the state of Washington (WA) imposed a net neutrality law in June 2018 that remains in effect today. The WA law prohibits home and mobile Internet providers from blocking or throttling lawful Internet traffic and from charging online services for prioritization.
