People Innovating for People
At AT&T, we’re committed to continuous innovation to
connect people everywhere they live and work, and
do it better than anyone else.
Over the past three years, we have demonstrated
that commitment to innovation by investing more
than $55 billion to create the connections that make
our customers’ daily lives more productive.
Those connections deepen relationships, strengthen
communities, transform businesses, revolutionize
industries and accelerate economic growth.
You’ll see proof of that in these pages — through the
stories of our customers, employees and neighbors.
We’re an innovation company with a purpose — driving
human progress.
Stephanie Le (left) and Sara Kahre (right) rely on AT&T’s mobile broadband network — and the devices that
run on it — to connect to the people, content and applications most important to them. Stephanie, whose work
and leisure travels take her from her home in Washington, D.C., to locations such as Vietnam, Uganda, Israel
and Colombia, uses her smartphone to travel light. “My phone does everything my laptop does, but it’s faster
and more mobile,” she says. “For meetings, I just plug in my phone, and I have access to my presentations.”
Says Sara, who does marketing and promotions for a national not-for-profit organization: “Life is so busy
that it’s hard to keep up, but my phone lets me stay in touch with friends and family. And with Internet and
e-mail, I can be connected to work wherever I am and at any time of day.”
