US EditionAT&T Plans $250 Billion Network Investment, Thousands of New Jobs
AT&T plans to invest $250 billion over five years to upgrade fiber, 5G, and satellite networks, aiming to improve coverage for over 100 million US customers including rural areas.
- On Tuesday, AT&T announced it will invest $250 billion over five years to modernize its U.S. telecom infrastructure by replacing copper lines with fiber, 5G, and satellite links.
- To meet growing AI and remote-work demands, AT&T says rising upload needs from cloud-based AI and remote-work users prompted replacing copper lines with fiber, 5G, and satellite.
- Planned network features include workforce training, hiring thousands of technicians, and expanding rural coverage via the AST SpaceMobile partnership, with Mahdi Eslamimehr noting 'It aims to enable direct-to-cell satellite service, allowing ordinary smartphones to connect to low-Earth-orbit satellites using existing cellular spectrum'.
- Users in urban, suburban and rural America stand to benefit as AT&T accelerates fiber and 5G deployment, while Ookla found its fiber leads but mobile speeds trail T-Mobile and Verizon.
- AT&T has not disclosed exact U.S. locations or funding sources for the $250 billion plan, despite serving more than 100 million customers and having 110,000 employees; Verizon reported $17 billion in capital expenditures last year.
