AT&T’s commitment to invest $14 billion in its wireless and wireline networks will have an immense impact on app makers. Capital investment, like today’s by AT&T, is essential to improve our mobile broadband infrastructure. This helps meet wireless consumer demand and alleviates concerns in the app industry that crowded airwaves will stunt growth and slow innovation. While the federal government urgently needs to free up more spectrum, telecommunications providers must also do their part. AT&T clearly understands this and today’s commitment will help get the most out of its limited spectrum resources. We hope to see that commitments like these help to pave the way for a regulatory environment that encourages increased investment industry wide.
