16. ATT is Investing
in the Future of Communication
As part of Project Velocity IP or VIP, we are investing an additional $14 billion in the next three years to expand our advanced
wireless and wireline broadband networks and to support future IP data growth and new services.
Benefits of this Investment Include:
Expanding ATT’s high-speed 4G LTE wireless network to cover 300 million
people in the U.S. by year-end 2014, an additional 50 million people over
current plans.
Providing 99 percent of customer locations in ATT’s 22-state
footprint access to high-speed 4G LTE wireless broadband,
U-verse or IP DSLAM technology.
Offering 1 million additional business customer locations
new fiber facilities by 2015. This investment will reach 50
percent of multi-tenant buildings in ATT’s 22-state
wireline footprint.
Deployment of small cell technology that will increase the density
of our existing wireless network.
Project VIP Supports New Growth Initiatives
Expanding ATT’s 4G LTE network to 300 million people, combined with its
leadership in smartphones and data access, provides a large platform for the next
wave of growth in mobility, including:
ATT Digital Life: A nationwide all IP-based home security and automation service set to launch in 2013 that will let
consumers manage their home from virtually any device — smartphone, tablet or PC.
Mobile Premise Solutions: This new nationwide service is an alternative for wireline voice service and in the future will
include high-speed IP Internet data services.
Mobile Wallet: ATT is participating in the ISIS mobile wallet joint venture. Market trials are underway in Austin, Texas
and Salt Lake City today.
Working with the FCC to Quickly Implement Broadband Networks of the Future
Continued investment in 21st century IP networks requires a 21st century regulatory framework.
To maximize and promote further investment, the nation must complete its transition away from legacy infrastructure to
the IP networks of the future.
ATT is stepping up to meet that challenge by asking the FCC to start a new proceeding to consider how best to
transition to new IP-based “smart” networks and technologies.
This will begin the necessary dialogue to enable ATT and other incumbent telephone companies to bring the benefits of
high-speed Internet to more consumers and businesses, spur innovation, enhance economic growth and job creation
and further strengthen the economy.
Improved Networks are the Foundation for
Investment Accelerated Growth
