<<is this the first sign of T's capitulation>>

I like to look at T's decision from two different angles;

First, If T expected their existing wireless business to start contributing handsomely to the bottom line, they would not creating a tracking stock. They would want those profits to flow into the combined income statement.

Second, If T understands they need to spend a lot more money to upgrade their wireless network, they would need to break the business out, via a tracking stock, to not further harm their overall financials.

Both items point to an overhaul. Just a matter of what the overhaul will be. We'll need some additional clues to tell.
