AT&T's Wireless Ambitions

摘要

In one wing of AT&T's sprawling corporate campus just outside Atlanta's upscale Buckhead neighborhood, a cadre of wireless employees is doing business in a way that's anything but usual for the telecom behemoth. The newly assembled team, led by about a dozen executives, operates more like a startup than a part of the 132 -year - old AT&T. And with good reason: Their mission is to come up with innovative ways for people to use AT&T's wire -rnless network. The idea is to go beyond cell phones and hook up all manner of electronics to the Internet-from digital cameras and navigation devices to parking meters-to change the way people live and work.
