AT&T Expands Wi-Fi Hot Spots Availability for Residential and Small Business Customers

AT&T announced that its residential and small business premier Wi-Fi subscribers can now access the company's global Wi-Fi roaming footprint - an additional 34,000 hot spot locations in 79 countries - that was previously available only to enterprise or AT&T Remote Access customers. All AT&T Wi-Fi customers can now select plans that grant access to the company's more than 48,000 hot spot locations around the world.

"AT&T offers one of the largest Wi-Fi networks in the world with an expansive roaming footprint. This is something we're committed to leveraging for all of our customers, from consumer to small business to our larger enterprise customers," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer of AT&T Consumer. "Today's travel takes our customers to countries all around the world, where even though they may be thousands of miles away, the need to connect to the office or to the home still very much exists."

Both new and existing residential or small business AT&T Wi-Fi premier subscribers can access the roaming locations, in North America and abroad, for no additional charge to their current premier membership or subscription plan. AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet customers can subscribe to the AT&T Wi-Fi premier plan for $21.99 a month to access the entire global footprint - delivering unlimited roaming capability to the 34,000 hot spot locations worldwide, as well as accessibility to nearly 15,000 hot spots in the United States. Premier memberships and subscriptions to AT&T Wi-Fi are also available for residential and small business consumers who do not currently subscribe to AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet service.

"Our focus is on delivering the most complete communications and entertainment experience for today's digital lifestyle," said Welday. "And by enabling a robust roaming footprint and a virtually transparent network for all of our Wi-Fi customers around the world, we're further fulfilling this commitment."
