FIXED WIRELESS FROM AT&T – APRIL 2000

In March 2000, AT&T Wireless commercially rolled out its first commercial fixed wireless service in Fort Worth, Texas.

The service can support up to four phone lines and operates over AT&T’s existing mobile spectrum.

For US$25.95, customers get one voice line with caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling. That price includes unlimited local calling and 7¢ per minute long-distance. The data service costs US$34.95 per month and is always on. Current trial customers were recently upgraded from 256 to 512Kb/s and will receive even higher speeds later on in the year.

Customers have a small antenna fixed on their house, which will be connected to a control unit inside their homes
