AT&T is now planning to reach more than 60,000 locations across three states with fiber via public-private partnership arrangements with municipalities, striking its latest deal with the city of Amarillo in Texas. Jeff Luong, AT&T's president of Broadband Access and Adoption, told Fierce it's pursuing many more similar deals both within and outside of its existing footprint.
The $24 million project in Amarillo will cover approximately 22,000 locations with XGS-PON fiber. The start of engineering work is contingent on the city's final approval of its portion of funding for the build.
