AT&T U-verse Arrives in Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi Customers Get New TV Service That Ranks Highest in Customer
Satisfaction in J.D. Power and Associates Study

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corpus Christi
residents now have a new choice for their television and communications
services, powered by the most advanced technology. AT&T* today announced the
launch of AT&T U-verse(SM) services in parts of Corpus Christi beginning
Monday, June 29.

AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice are
delivered over AT&T's advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network, and offer a new
alternative to cable and an unmatched experience for customers. AT&T U-verse
brings together your TV, broadband, home phone and wireless services - all on
one bill - with unique features that provide a new level of integration,
convenience and control. AT&T U-verse TV ranked "Highest in Customer
Satisfaction in the South Region," according to the J.D. Power and Associates
2008 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Study(SM).

"Today's launch of AT&T U-verse reflects our commitment to make the
investments necessary to bring consumers across Corpus Christi a new era of
true video competition," said Don Cain, president, AT&T Texas. "We are
thrilled to offer this innovative video choice to Corpus Christi customers.
Local residents have asked for more choices in television service and today
we're delivering."

Texas was the first state where AT&T U-verse services were deployed, thanks to
progressive legislation passed in September 2005 by the Texas Legislature and
signed by Gov. Rick Perry. This legislation provides an environment that
encourages new video providers, such as AT&T, to invest in Texas to compete
against the incumbent cable providers and build the advanced broadband
networks that will create jobs and fuel economic growth.

"Cable has been the only game in town for too long, and we're excited to
change that today in Corpus Christi," said Chris Penrose, vice president and
general manager, AT&T South Texas. "We know Corpus Christi customers want a
better choice to break free from cable, and AT&T U-verse is the answer. And
we'll continue to make U-verse TV even better for customers with regular
upgrades and new cool applications that enhance your TV experience."

"As policymakers, our goal was to increase investment in Texas and give
consumers more choices and innovative new services," said state Rep. Solomon
Ortiz, Jr. "Today's announcement brings that goal to fruition for Corpus
Christi residents."
