AT&T to provide broadband in rural areas

US based telecom giant AT&T has announced that they are now going to provide broadband services in rural areas in the country through an expansion of AT&T Yahoo Broadband.

This service would be available via satellite in its 22-state footprint. AT&T’s upcoming service expansion would be powered by WildBlue and the company said that it would be focused on areas that currently have no or meager access to either DSL or cable broadband.

AT&T further said that the consumers would be able to avail this service starting at $54.95 a month.

Market experts added that this would be the first time that satellite Internet service will be available from AT&T for customers in the former BellSouth nine-state region.

Rick Welday, chief marketing officer of AT&T’s consumer unit had this to say about this new service offering: “Since we began offering high-speed Internet service, our goal has been to make the benefits of broadband available to every home and business in our service footprint. From traditional wireline broadband to satellite-broadband service, our focus continues to be on wide-scale deployment and availability in both rural and suburban communities.”
