and Applications in Western Virginia

HARRISONBURG, Va., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T* today announced the
availability of its third generation (3G) mobile broadband network in
Harrisonburg, opening the door to a new era of mobile services, devices and

Universities now enjoy the benefits of the AT&T 3G network.

The network extension is part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to drive innovation
and investment to deliver the benefits of smartphones and mobile broadband for
customers and complements the existing 3G footprint in
Blacksburg,Charlottesville, and Hampton Roads.

"AT&T is committed to investing in Virginia to ensure consumers and businesses
have access to the advanced, reliable wireless broadband services in more
places throughout the state to help drive economic growth and job creation,"
said J. Michael Schweder, President, AT&T Mid-Atlantic Region.

More smartphone customers have chosen AT&T over any other U.S. competitor, and
AT&T is committed to driving continual enhancement of network capabilities to
meet these customers' ever-growing mobile broadband needs.

"Demand for wireless bandwidth is growing, whether it's for sharing video and
photos with friends, watching a movie, checking the latest scores, or
listening to music on a phone, netbook or other mobile devices on the go,"
said Erika K. Thompson-Kemp, vice president and general manager for AT&T in
Virginia and West Virginia. "With this expansion, our customers can continue
to ride the leading edge of mobile broadband with emerging devices and
thousands of mobile applications."

AT&T matches its network investment with unsurpassed choice in the range of
devices, services and applications compatible with its 3G network - the
nation's fastest, according to independent testing. AT&T offers a wide
variety of devices from more than a dozen manufacturers, including handsets
that are compatible with six different operating systems and five different
e-mail applications. Our Media Mall 2.0 offers more than 90,000 content
options, and customers can download additional applications over the Internet.
Additionally, AT&T supports a community of more than 20,000 application
developers via its devCentral portal.

Recently, AT&T announced plans to further upgrade its 3G network nationwide
with HSPA 7.2 technology to deliver considerably faster mobile broadband
speeds. The upgrades are planned to begin in the fourth quarter, with
completion expected in 2011. Supporting this initiative is AT&T's ongoing
deployment of additional backhaul capacity to cell sites, which will support
today's unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic as well as the future
demands of next-generation networks.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most
open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T's 3G
network is available in more than 350 major metropolitan areas. AT&T also
