8 | 2007 AT&T Annual Report
Our wireless capabilities play a critical
role in delivering on the promise of mobility
for our customers. As a result, wireless
is now our fastest-growing and largest
revenue driver, accounting for nearly
36 percent of our company’s total revenue.
Customers use mobile devices to surf the Internet, monitor
business operations while on the road and access video
through a wireless Internet connection. In all of these
ways and more, we give customers the freedom to choose
when, where and how they communicate. To that end, we
are focused on three key areas in our wireless business.
FIRST, we continue to expand and improve our networks.
We offer the United States’ largest digital voice and data
network, covering 290 million people.
We offer the most open and widely available wireless
technology, GSM, which is used by 2.7 billion people
around the world. And we offer the largest international
roaming footprint of any U.S. carrier.
Today, we’re taking the industry’s most expansive and
capable network and making it faster as we aggressively
expand our third-generation, or 3G, network to deliver
downlink speeds of between 600 and 1,400 kilobits per
second. By the end of 2008, this high-velocity 3G capability
will be available in nearly 350 major U.S. metropolitan
areas, including all of the nation’s 100 largest cities.
We’re reshaping our entire business to meet the rising customer
demand for mobility—to make our wireless, broadband, TV and local
search capabilities work together for people at home, at work and
on the go.
Wireless
Because we use GSM wireless
technology, the world standard,
our customers can seamlessly
connect from locations in more
than 200 countries, including
London’s Heathrow Airport.
