AT&T investing in Texas
AT&T plans to invest $200 million in Texas during 2008 to boost its wireless network there. This will bring AT&T's three-year investment in the state to more than $700 million.
AT&T plans to add 102 new cell sites as part of the 2008 wireless network investment. Besides this it will roll out its higher-speed wireless network in additional communities throughout the state. Many of the improvements will benefit Texans who live and work in rural areas.
"Our goal is to ensure that AT&T customers have the very best wireless experience possible, and that includes providing unmatched coverage, quality of service, competitive calling plans and innovative wireless devices," said Adam Vital, vice president and general manager of AT&T's wireless unit in North Texas, in a statement.
Vital continued: "This year's investment will increase coverage in the places our customers live and work, and the planned expansion of our 3G network will allow more customers to enjoy increased data and video speeds while they are on the go."
