According to Techdirt AT&T Wireless could be launching 3G in four cities as early as next week.
It’s not so straightforward though:
even after the acquisition announcement from Cingular, AT&T Wireless was still required to launch 3G service in four cities by the end of the year, or be forced to pay back the $6 billion NTT DoCoMo gave them.
So, it’s no surprise to hear that AT&T Wireless is on track to have four cities launched by the end of the year. They have $6 billion riding on it, after all.
However, the surprise news may be that such service could launch next week. The four cities in question are San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Detroit, and the pricing isn’t quite as ridiculous as you might expect.
I wonder if they’re going though the motions (6 billion is a lot of dollars) or if they’re serious? It would be great if they’re really doing it.
