Can you get AT&T internet service everywhere? Or only where they have
cable-tv?

Ya used to be able to get AT&T internet service here in coastal CT (former
SNET territory), along with AT&T phone service. But now they've sold all
that operation -- customers, wire plant, COs, etc. -- to Frontier, so the
only AT&T operations left here now are their cellular works.

Extrapolate to elsewhere, if you can. Cheers, -- tlvp

That's mainly all they want...screw the land-line business.

Makes you wonder why they bought up SNET, then, doesn't it?

AT&T's Plan For the Future: No Landlines, Less Regulation

As Phone Giants Try to Cut the Cord, Holdouts Resist; Some Residents
of Carbon Hill Are Apprehensive

Residents and business owners in Carbon Hill, Ala., got a surprise in
letters from AT&T Inc. in February. The company said the town, where
signs welcome visitors to "the city with a future," could usher in one
of the biggest technological changes since Alexander Graham Bell's
first telephone.

If regulators approve, AT&T customers would eventually have to switch
to wireless or high-speed service. New customers wouldn't be allowed
to sign up for traditional, landline-based service at all. AT&T's top
executive in Alabama, Fred McCallum, wrote that the proposed changes
are an "exciting opportunity for our customers and for our company."

It means to stockholders, higher revenues...it means to AT&T,
decreased manpower to maintain 'plant-equipment,' and no more state
regs/authorities to deal with.

At least in Texas (but if landlines are terminated, maybe a different
story),
