This investment is part of AT&T's broader commitment to advanced connectivity nationwide. Recently, in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Alexander Graham Bell's first telephone call, AT&T announced more than $250 billion in investment and spend to support the future of U.S. connectivity, helping build the high-speed networks and resilience needed for innovation and long-term economic growth.

"Continued investment in advanced communications networks helps strengthen communities, support businesses and keep Florida competitive for the future." AT&T's investment in Florida spans multiple areas of its network, including fiber, 5G and FirstNet(R), Built with AT&T. Expanding Fiber Access To meet growing demand for reliable, high-speed internet, AT&T continues to invest in its fiber network across Florida. - AT&T has deployed more than 8.1 million strand miles of fiber in Florida. - AT&T Fiber is now available to more than 2.74 million customer locations in over 170 localities statewide. AT&T previously announced the acquisition of substantially all of Lumen's Mass Markets fiber internet connectivity business. With the closing of that transaction, AT&T plans to extend its fiber network to approximately 60 million total fiber locations by year-end 2030. In Florida, that expansion includes more than 350,000 new residential and business locations across Southwest Florida, including; Fort Myers, Bonita Springs. Cape Coral. Naples, Port Charlotte, and Sanibel. Connectivity When It Matters Most As public safety's partner, AT&T continues to expand FirstNet, the nation's largest network built with and for public safety.

Lifelong learner: Ms. Gales' digital journey. Ms. Brenda Gales spent decades teaching kindergartners how to learn. In retirement, she found that she was now the learner as the digital world continuously moves ahead. Laptops, unfamiliar interfaces, complex software: she manages her iPhone well, but other technologies started feeling out of reach. When a former classmate from high school told her about the Connected Learning digital literacy workshops offered by Canopy Children's Solutions in collaboration with Digitunity and AT&T, Ms. Gales didn't hesitate to sign up. Rediscovering confidence. Walking into the digital skills workshops held at Canopy Children's Solutions, Ms. Gales learned about more than just technology; she found a community. Though she admits she prefers the click of a physical mouse over modern trackpads, ("I work fast," she says), learning updated technology went smoother than expected. The workshops helped her connect her existing skills with new tools. Her learning highlights include: * Mastering Zoom: As the president of her high school class of 1978, Ms. Gales can now set up and lead virtual meetings for her school's alumni and keep her social and professional circles connected. * Creative exploration: She downloads music, organizes photos, and searches recipes to fuel her passion for cooking. * Staying informed: Her laptop gives her access to national news beyond the local cycle. * Health management: She prints health records before appointments so her doctors have exactly what they need. From participant to "digital navigator" The impact of the program went beyond software and technology. For Ms. Gales, the workshops allow her to participate in community life. "[The digital skills workshops] give me something to do...to come and meet other people," Ms. Gales shared. "If somebody couldn't do something, then the next person would help. We were all helping each other." - Ms. Brenda Gales Her instinct to teach was reignited when Ms. Gales found herself helping younger participants who needed assistance in the workshops. Her enthusiasm was so infectious that the program coordinators and facilitators invited her back, not as a student, but as a volunteer and potential part-time teacher. When asked how confident she would feel teaching a neighbor what she learned, Ms. Gales' answer was immediate: "100%." Thanks to the laptop she received through the program and the skills she has learned, she is no longer just a retired teacher; she is a "digital navigator" for her community. She is proof that with the right tools and a supportive environment, the spirit of education is a lifelong journey that always has room for a new chapter. "The environment is real. It's a great environment." - Ms. Brenda Gales This story is part of the 3 Southern States Connected Communities Program, a collaboration between Digitunity and AT&T designed to increase computer ownership and digital skills across Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. In Mississippi, Canopy Children's Solutions participates in the program by helping residents access refurbished computers, digital skills training, and one-on-one support from trained digital navigators. Canopy Children's Solutions provides behavioral health, educational, and family support solutions for children and families. Through this program, Canopy is helping more Mississippi residents use technology for education, employment, health, and daily life. About digitunity.

CWAers crash AT&T's March Madness Block Party. April 9, 2026 AT&T Orange Mobility workers hired digital billboard trucks and distributed informational flyers last week outside of the AT&T Block Party at the March Madness Music Festival in Indianapolis, Ind. Members mobilized to inform the public about the company's corporate greed and the ongoing contract negotiations. AT&T spends millions of dollars on flashy corporate sponsorships like the NCAA March Madness tournament and free concert events for the public. But CWA members let the public know that these free events are not possible without the wealth created by the workers. CWA and AT&T agreed to a contract extension after an overwhelming 95 percent of voting Orange Mobility members authorized CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. to call a strike if necessary. The contract extension now expires on April 17.
AT&T Fiber optic cable installation in Mentor. This year, AT&T is upgrading its network infrastructure by installing state-of-the-art fiber optic cables in neighborhoods throughout Mentor to provide faster, more reliable internet services to their customers. Letters will be sent to affected homeowners. What to Expect in Work Areas * All installation activities will occur within the existing easements and utility or road rights of way. While some work may take place on or near your property, it will remain within these designated areas. This work will sometimes require access to its network that could include the need to trim trees or to dig on or near your property. City of Mentor will always do its best to minimize any disruptions to you. * Soon, you will notice colored flags and/or painted markings on or near your property. These are used to locate and identify existing underground utilities in accordance with safety regulations. Please do not disturb these markers - they are temporary and necessary for the installation process. * If you have a sprinkler system, dog fence or other underground items in the easement area or right of way, please mark them with white or pink flags. These will not be marked by OUPS/811. * If any area of your property is disturbed or damaged because of this work, rest assured that its crews are committed to restoring the site to the same - or better - condition as before. * Work is scheduled to begin within two weeks from the distribution of the notification letter you receive and is expected to be completed, including all restoration efforts, within one month of the project start date. * Once installation is complete, AT&T Fiber service will become available to your home within one month, offering you access to enhanced internet speeds and reliability. The project will be completed in phases: * Phase one includes boring/digging and placing fiber optic cables and structures to house splice and termination points, including serving terminals that will supply residential service. This will also include any restoration work. * AT&T hires contract suppliers to perform the construction work which includes any digging, boring, fiber optic cable placing, and restoration. Contact information to speak directly to the AT&T Inspector who will be overseeing the construction work will be provided in the letter. * Phase two will include splicing (making the connections). AT&T employs local technicians to perform the work of splicing fiber and installing hardware. * Phase 3 will complete the project by installing state-of-the-art services to individual homes as requested by customers. This work is also performed by local AT&T employees. You will see vehicles and equipment belonging to their Contractor as well as AT&T in your neighborhood throughout the duration of the project.
