"The introduction of AT&T Navigator Global Edition is just another example of how AT&T is the nation's leading provider of international wireless services. AT&T not only gives customers the ability to use their mobile phones in more countries than any other U.S. carrier, they now can use our robust GPS-based navigation offering whether at home or abroad to easily get from point A to point B or to find and get directed to a local business or service," stated Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Mobility Marketing and Operations for AT&T's wireless operation.
