As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of new 3G cell sites in Barre and Montpelier that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses. With 3G speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.

"Vermonters welcome AT&T's introduction of 3G capabilities to the capital region of the state," said Sen. Ann E. Cummings of Montpelier, chair of the Senate Finance Committee. "It is critical that we offer them the latest technologies and services, and AT&T's investment in a more robust wireless network here and in other areas of Vermont will help attract business and strengthen the state's economy."

The new cell sites are part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to drive innovation and extend its 3G wireless network - the fastest in the nation, according to independent testing. In December 2009, AT&T launched its 3G network in a number of Vermont cities and towns, including Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Rutland, St. Albans and White River Junction. These expansions are part of AT&T's ongoing investment to build the broadband networks that will fuel economic growth and create jobs, and enable its customers to quickly access the content, applications and services that matter most to them. Additional 3G investments in Vermont will be announced later this year.
