The most likely path, plus upside and downside
AT&T maintains its subscriber growth rate through discounts, while HP capitalizes on promotional pressure to clear inventory, with a mild uptick in total sales.
Stronger than expected consumer uptake leads to enhanced market share for both AT&T and HP, outpacing competitors in subscriber growth and sales.
Discounts fail to attract new customers significantly, leading to lower than expected revenue and potential price wars among competitors that might erode margins.
