AT&T Wants to be the Leading Mobile Broadband Provider by 2015
AT&T began the month by pulling the plug on its all-you-can-eat mobile data plans. That decision to impose data caps might just have been part of its bid to cope up with explosive demand for mobile bandwidth. Data volumes have risen 5000 percent during the past three years. According to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, the ridiculously high demand for mobile bandwidth is precisely the problem currently afflicting its network.
“So we’ve been working to get the voice quality back in shape and we’ve actually done that in New York,” Stephenson told CNBC in an interview. He revealed that the carrier would spend $19 billion on network upgrades over the next five years.
This, Stephenson feels, this will be enough to make AT&T the number one mobile broadband provider in the US, “probably one of the top in the world."
