AT&T makes it easier for customers to ignore the game at Fenway
By adamg - 7/28/11 - 8:57 pmAT&T says it's dramatically boosted its wireless broadband capacity in the vicinity of Fenway Park, meaning customers are less likely to strike out while trying to make phone calls or getting online during games.
The company says it did this by adding a distributed antenna system to the area around the park.
"We want our customers to have a great network experience whatever they're doing - whether that's making a call, checking e-mail, downloading apps or surfing the Internet," Steve Krom, vice president and general manager of AT&T New England, said in a statement.
A company spokesman was unable to say exactly how much extra Pink Hat capacity the company added.

Boston woman files $10-million lawsuit against AT&T over taxes on her iPhone Internet service
By adamg - 1/19/10 - 7:39 pmLeslie Rock, a Beacon Hill resident who pays AT&T roughly $30 a month to connect her iPhone to the Internet, today filed a class-action lawsuit in US District Court in Boston that charges the company is illegally collecting taxes on the service.
In her complaint, Rock seeks to establish a class of Massachusetts residents who, collectively, are owed $10 million because federal and state law prohibits taxes on Internet services. However, the suit also alleges these "thousands of individuals" are being charged both state and local sales tax on the service even though Massachusetts cities and towns have no local sales taxes.

AT&T: Place to wait for the bus? Or the *best* place to wait for the bus?
By Jay Levitt - 3/28/08 - 9:31 pmEvery time I walk by the AT&T store in Central Square, I notice the snide, laser-printed signs in the window:
"AT&T IS NOT A PLACE TO WAIT FOR THE BUS."
And, technically, it's true. AT&T is, of course, a communications company. "A place to wait for the bus" is less of a "communications company", and more of a "location". Tougher to brand, too, though Wall's done a decent job of it.
Then again, it's wrong, on so many levels:
* The sidewalk is not AT&T property
