AT&T US00206R1023

AT&T has taken two significant steps to enhance its competitive standing in the U.S. telecommunications market, closing a multi-billion dollar fiber asset purchase and unveiling a new collaboration with Amazon. The moves are central to the company’s strategy of expanding its high-speed internet footprint and integrating satellite technology.

The company has officially completed the acquisition of Lumen Technologies’ mass-market fiber operations. The transaction, valued at $5.75 billion in cash, transfers infrastructure across eleven states, including Florida, Colorado, and Washington. This deal adds approximately one million existing subscriber locations and over four million potential service addresses to AT&T’s portfolio.
