Lexington goes 3G, Finally

AT&T announced that Lexington will be 3G, and it can’t happen soon enough for me. I think someone from AT&T Corporate got lost driving down I-64 while working on the 3G network in Frankfort (!) and discovered… whoa!… there’s a pretty BIG CITY (>250k) over here!

From their press release:

“AT&T’s third-generation (3G) wireless broadband network enables consumers and businesses to enjoy the benefits of broadband speeds throughout Lexington. Louisville and Frankfort launched the 3G wireless broadband network in late 2006. With the 3G network, customers can quickly access feature-rich wireless content on their 3G handsets, including videos, games, pictures and the latest music, entertainment, news and weather, through MEdia Net, the company’s mobile Internet portal. Customers on the network also can view razor-sharp clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from some of the top media brands.

The AT&T 3G network also offers AT&T BroadbandConnect mobile customers DSL-like speeds for their laptops, with the ability to access the Internet, their company’s intranet or corporate e-mail from anywhere within the 3G network. The combination of AT&T’s 3G network and BroadbandConnect — which simply requires a laptop modem card or a laptop with embedded 3G service, software and an AT&T data plan — is ideal for customers who want to increase business productivity and need to quickly download large files and run corporate applications.”
