English term or phrase: AT&T might have shrunk to fit market realities, but it doesn’t see them in no-ne

Some industry players argue that, when it comes to providing value added services, a network is simply an encumbrance. This is partly because connectivity is cheap and partly because the network distracts from what counts — the customer. AT&T might have shrunk to fit market realities, but it doesn’t see them in no-network terms, as Bill Archer, president of AT&T’s operations in EMEA, explains.
“The user experience and the total economics to the user are driven by being able to control the design, the features and the performance of the underlying network. If you cannot control those, you cannot deliver the experience and the economic performance to the user,” he says.

at&t might have shrunk to fit market realities, but it doesn’t see them in no-ne 后半部分同意paulcheung 的看法

Explanation:
因为“might have done"表示“本来可能做某事（但没有做/也可能做了）”但在这个上下文里看来是没有这么做，所以翻译为：“AT&T原本可以为适应市场的现实要求而进行业务收缩,但我们并没有在超出网络连接的范围看到这种市场需求”
（也就是paulcheung所说的“但对市场现实的理解却仅止于提供网络连接的层次”即只在提供网络连接的层次上看到了市场的这种现实需要”）。觉得后半段他的翻译更好一些，很有那些部门负责人拿腔拿调的味道。
