On May 8, 2006, AT&T Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release updating its deployment plans for its broadband Internet access and IP-based services to businesses and consumers throughout its traditional 13-state local service territory, including deployment of Project Lightspeed. The Company affirmed its intent to make its Project Lightspeed video services available within three years to more than 5.5 million low-income households as part of its initial build. With this updated plan, the Company expects to spend approximately $4.6 billion on network-related deployment costs and capital expenditures beginning in 2006 through 2008, as well as additional success-based customer activation capital expenditures for its Project Lightspeed initiative to reach nearly 19 million households by year-end 2008 as part of its initial deployment. The text of the press release is attached as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
