When AT&T was a benevolent monopoly, its Bell Labs did things like confirm the Big Bang and help invent the transistor. That company is long gone. The AT&T of today is focused on short-term profits. That means lousy customer service and general corporate thuggery. That is going to seep into HBO's culture. It not going to be a place that would nurture The Wire, The Sopranos or Game of Thrones. So my point is, what's the over/under on how long that takes?
