6 AT&T Inc.
We also continue to pursue Wi-Fi as an
alternative access strategy. We’ve assembled
the United States’ largest Wi-Fi network to
provide our customers with alternative mobile
access points, and growth has been dramatic.
For the full year 2008, customers made
20 million Wi-Fi connections on our network.
Last year, we hit that total every four days.
Adding capacity and expanding accessibility
are critically important because the mobile
Internet is on the verge of radically improving
our lives and our economy.
As dramatic as the first five years of the
mobile broadband revolution have been, the
next five years will surpass them by an order
of magnitude.
Why? Because our networks now provide
super-high-speed connectivity to a virtually
unlimited amount of content and number of
applications that live in the Internet cloud.
This is an incredibly dynamic combination,
and it will spark the next wave of innovation
and growth.
Everything will be more connected, easier
and more intelligent, as smartphones and
tablets — where we lead the industry — serve
as the hub of each person’s mobile universe.
This next chapter in the mobile revolution
will be about much more than what we can do on
our devices; it will be all about how the mobile
Internet improves every aspect of our lives.
