AT&T Wireless up to speed with wi-fi



RELATED SYMBOLS: (AWE)

Jan 28, 2003 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Subscribers
to US mobile telephone carrier AT&T Wireless Services will soon be provided with
high-speed Internet access. This follows a deal with Texas-based Wayport to
provide wireless Internet access at 475 hotels and several airports for AT&T
Wireless's customers. There will be an extra charge for the service, starting at
$US9.99 for access over a 24-hour period. The move comes after AT&T Wireless
announced it had scaled back plans to introduce third generation (3G) mobile
telephone services. This could indicate a trend for mobile telephone carriers,
as 3G still has not delivered on its early promise. Originally published in "The
Wall Street Journal".
