THE TELECOM SECTOR is filled with the kinds of companies we love to hate: They earn a mediocre (and declining) return on capital, economic moats are nonexistent or deteriorating, their future depends on the whims of regulators, and they constantly spend boatloads of money just to stay in place. Even companies that once boasted wide moats, such as those that control the local phone network, face increasing competition from newer players, such as cable and wireless networks.

Ma Bell essentially ruled the U.S. telecom world, owning the vast majority of networks needed to provide local and long-distance phone service. The majority of households and businesses had little choice but to send cash monthly, making AT&T shares the proverbial safe haven stock for a generation of investors.
