AT&T Offers The Whole Enchilada- Broadband Internet That Flexs Depending on Where You Are and What You Are Doing
Being based in San Antonio, we think in terms of Mexican food. I used to see former AT&T Chairman Ed Whitacre dine at LaFogatta, one of my personal faves. When you get the whole enchilada, you get the whole thing, the big meal, the super combo deluxe dinner.
The phone company as we no longer know it has just launched AT&T Net Reach, a whole enchilda approach to providing home and on-the-go high speed Internet services for the ever-moving consumer and small business customer.
