So they seek new sources of revenues, and/or attempt to thwart competition any way they can.
No to the first. Yes to the second. If they were seeking new sources of revenue, they'd be massively expanding into un/der served markets and aggressively growing over the top services (which are fat margin). They did a bit of an advertising campaign of "smart home" offerings, but that seems to have never grown beyond a pilot.
