Search every verified Pascal Desroches interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Pascal Desroches, AT&T's CFO, has discussed the company's ongoing transition away from legacy copper infrastructure toward fiber and wireless services. In a March 2025 interview, he stated that AT&T expects to "largely get out of the copper business" over the next five years and projected $3 billion-plus in savings over three years from that shift. He described the company's strategy as growing its core mobile and fiber businesses while legacy revenues decline, and said AT&T aims to return value to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Desroches also noted that over 70% of consumers want to buy connectivity services from a single provider, and he expressed admiration for Apple's customer loyalty. In a July 2022 interview, Desroches addressed recession risks and free cash flow guidance. He said that even in a recession, AT&T expects customers to pay their bills due to the "mission-critical nature" of its services, though he acknowledged delinquency trends were slightly worse than pre-pandemic levels. Desroches described price increases for some customers on older plans as a "painful step" that had shown early positive results. He also stated that AT&T had taken "hard steps" including dispositions and a dividend reduction to position the company for long-term investment and growth.
