AT&T have announced their plans to do some expanding in 2008. They are looking to take their high-speed wireless service into 80 additional markets, which would bring their total to 350 “big U.S. markets.” Currently AT&T is the largest U.S. mobile provider, but sadly they have been slower than rivals in building and offering high-speed wireless access. No word on which areas would be covered in those 80 they have planned.
