Watch video on the go. Surf the wireless Internet at lightning speed. Share live video during a wireless call. These are just a few of the things you can do with AT&T’s third-generation (3G) wireless service, now available in the Roaring Fork Valley. AT&T announced the launch of the company’s 3G wireless network in Aspen, Snowmass Village, Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and the Highway 82 corridor offering consumers and businesses broadband-like speed and access to the latest interactive voice, video and data applications.

The new sites are part of AT&T’s continued expansion of high speed wireless service in the Rocky Mountain Region and part of the more than $50 million network investment planned throughout the state of Colorado in 2008. With the addition of the Roaring Fork Valley, the AT&T 3G network is now available in more than 280 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008.

Other plans for 2008 include the completion of the nation’s first High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)-enabled network by the middle of the year. The AT&T 3G network now delivers LaptopConnect users typical downlink speeds ranging between 700 kilobits per second (Kbps) and 1.7 megabits per second (Mbps), and faster uplink speeds ranging between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps. The faster uplink speeds allow users to quickly send large files and take full advantage of the latest Internet and business applications.
