Don Brown Quotations

There are countless factors, both external and internal, on stock values. Our infrastructure improvements are about more than just video. The improvements will benefit voice, data and Internet services too.

We want to bring the same growth, competition and cost savings to the cable TV market that consumers already enjoy in the local phone, long distance, cellular and broadband industries.

Nobody wants to come up with a way to find the dollars that are going to replace the AMT. That's why it's not getting fixed.

I felt he handled the elements a little better. He did a nice job and gave us a lift off the bench.

We're pretty good, too. We're just going to do the things we need to do. We have a particular style. If it's good enough, it's good enough. If it's not, it's not. They're the defending national champions, so as long as they have that title, they're the best.

We must continue the course for the waterfront development and wait for the due process already in place by the city. Waterfront development must continue in order to deliver long-denied benefits to Glen Cove residents.

I thought he did a great job managing the game.

I think the biggest thing is that they have so much momentum coming in. They've won a couple of big games and they're kind of feeding off that right now. They're really starting to play well.

I thought we moved the ball for the most part through the air fairly effectively when we weren't throwing it to the other guy. It's difficult to win games when you have a lot of turnovers.

I think our offensive line is as good as any in the Atlantic 10. Their continuity is extremely important to our success.

We continue to meet goals on eliminating the use of substances of concern from our product designs and increasing energy efficiency of our products while maintaining our high standards of reliability and product safety.

We had no turnovers for the second week in a row and I really thought Liam threw the ball extremely well. He put the ball where we needed and he didn't try to do too much.

We are not prepared to make that prediction quite yet. We are still working with our network teams, investment planners and technology vendors to ensure speedy deployment of a high-quality television service.

We have a very young team and we got down early and it steamrolled after that. They had a blocked punt for a touchdown and we looked like a deer in headlights in the first half and they just made some plays and we had trouble getting anything going.

We have a very aggressive deployment plan. We'd like to offer this video service to half of our AT&T residential customers in less than three years. The key is our ability to install the necessary technology in cities and neighborhoods. The faster we can upgrade fiber-optic elements of our networks, the sooner we can bring high-quality video through your existing phone lines.

We're young and it's going to be a learning curve. Tonight they learned a big lesson. Some of them grew up tonight. They learned that moving from sophomore to varsity all is a big step.

When you have eight turnovers and you have the ball at mid-field with a minute and forty to go and you have a chance to win the game, that's interesting in itself. It shows the type of effort we got from all the guys and we never gave up, we kept competing.

We gave a good account of ourselves, but Reed-Custer gradually wore us down. Pivonka had a good game running the ball. He just kept hammering away at our defense and that wore us down late in the game.

We want to offer customers a choice in TV. By competing with traditional cable TV service, we will expand our network and provide the latest in broadband and video technologies. It's likely that this AT&T network upgrade will spark innovation and investment by other competitors in the market.

As technology improves, customers demand better service, lower prices and more choices. It would probably be more telling to ask consumers about the next new product or service. Consumers drive the actions of our industry.

Distance is no barrier. The supervisor may be in New York and the agent may be in the Philippines.

Consumers today want the latest in telecommunications and entertainment technology. They prefer the convenience and cost savings of bundled services, and television is one of the essential elements of a full service communications package.

The ones that are this way you don't worry too much about. It's the close ones you have nightmares about. You forget about these and come ready on Monday. Our kids will be resilient enough to do that.

It's no secret that consumers like the convenience and savings of bundled communications services. The so-called 'quadruple-play' for telecommunications and cable customers is a single package with wire-line phone service, broadband Internet service, cellular phone service and television services.

It's their New York-style bagels, as opposed to West Coast. The big difference is they're boiled first and then baked.

It's really going to be a game that got away from us early. We had a lot of kids that were cramping up in the end and several kids due to our numbers going both ways. It was one of those nights where things got away from us early. I was proud of the kids that finished up for us.

That's the direct result of customers making decisions in their homes about how they use natural gas.

The bigger you are, the less of a problem you have.

Any time you win on the road in the Atlantic 10 you're pretty happy, especially in an opener. Hopefully, we can get better from Week 1 to Week 2.

If you take weather out of the equation, the only thing remaining is customer chose and customer reaction.

The market is terrific, ... The long range forecasts are still very positive. The Indian is a powerful name, probably the most powerful name in the motorcycle world, other than Harley-Davidson. The question is, after you sell the first 1,000 or 500, will there be an ongoing market?
