AT&T Inc. 2013 Annual Report
1
TO OUR INVESTORS
We’ve entered 2014 with our
industry on the cusp of a dramatic
expansion. And once again,
our company is poised to lead.
Over the past few years, AT&T has been a
major driver of the global, mobile Internet
revolution. We have invested and executed
aggressively, and today our network is best
in class, reaches hundreds of millions of
people and comes out on top in all sorts
of third-party tests for speed and reliability.
We also moved early to open our network
to outside innovators and broke new ground
with our AT&T Foundry innovation centers,
allowing us to deliver more apps and
solutions to our customers faster.
All of this has helped our company create
new growth platforms. And more broadly,
it has helped ignite a global wave of
innovation that’s transforming how we
manage our lives, connect with others
and operate our businesses. It’s hard
to overstate the impact of this revolution,
or our company’s role in it. Simply put, we
have created the framework for the fastest,
largest technology transformation in
our lifetime.
But the fact is, as impressive as the past
several years have been, the opportunities
ahead are many times greater. This next
wave is being powered by a combination
of ultra-fast mobile communications with
access to content located in the cloud.
This means that just about everything in
our world will be connected, seamless and
smart. Our content will follow us no matter
what device we’re using. Our homes and
cars will be extensions of our smartphones
