as companies invest in high-speed mobile
networks. That belief has us searching for
opportunities to invest in wireless outside
the U.S. where the regulatory, investment
and economic climate is right.
We believe that environment now exists in
Mexico. Recent changes in Mexico’s legal
and regulatory framework have made it very
attractive for a new entrant. We closed our
Iusacell acquisition in early 2015 and expect
to complete our Nextel Mexico deal by mid-
year. Once we do, we’ll move quickly to build a
world-class mobile business in a country with
a strong economic outlook, a growing middle
class and close trade, cultural and geographic
ties to the United States.
We’ll be able to offer customers the first-ever
North American Mobile Service area – one
seamless network that will cover more than
400 million people and businesses in the
United States and Mexico. For families and
businesses that span the border, AT&T will
be the only company with an advanced
mobile network – built for video – across
both countries.

2014 Annual Report
A new kind of company
By the end of 2015, once we close our
DIRECTV and Nextel Mexico acquisitions,
we will be a very different company. Our
revenue mix will be much more diversified,
and our ability to integrate products and
services will set us apart from competitors.
Our revenues will come from four areas:
• Business services (wireless and wired)
will be our largest revenue stream
• U.S. consumer TV and Internet service
will be second
• U.S. consumer mobility will be third,
comprising about 20 percent of
total revenues
• Mexico and Latin American TV and
mobility will be our smallest but
fastest-growing area
We like that mix a lot. Not only will a more
diversified mix of services, customers and
geographies make us much less dependent
on the U.S. consumer wireless market, we’ll
be a new breed of company – one that will
redefine what a communications company
is and what it does.
We will be a company with the ability to
deliver video to any device. We will be able
to deliver integrated capabilities across a
diversified base of services, customers,
geographies and technology platforms that
are mobile, fast and highly secure. We will
have a path to profitable TV growth. And we
will have a nice set of growing Latin American
businesses positioned well in video and the
mobile Internet.
