I spilled my beer while reading this article. As someone who worked in the "Death Star"(TM), I can tell you what the other commenters in this thread have already stated, but I'd rather make some vague generalizations. Firstly, at&t is huge and have a large number of businesses operating under the at&t umbrella. Secondly, the advances in providing everyone wireless access to phone and data (i.e. pipe), at even today's choked (v)DSL speeds are not even close to being achievable in today's radio technology _theory_, much less experimental implementations. Thirdly, Twilio can and will be reproduced by someone else, and even at&t business solutions. Can Twilio bundle pipe, hosting, cellphone, and advanced app solutions for business into 1 bill like at&t? No. Don't get me wrong, Twilio is cool, heck we even use it at my company.
