AT&T expanding coverage to 40 more NYC subway stations
It’s a crapshoot: if you’re descending into one of New York City’s underground subway stations, you’re probably going to drop a call. It’s frustrating, but it’ll be a little less likely soon. AT&T has expanded its contract with Transit Wireless to bring voice and data services to “as many as 242″ additional NYC subway stations, though only about 40 are going to be ready this summer. Don’t get too excited about the proposed total, either — Transit Wireless is only in phase two of a seven phase rollout, and won’t reach it’s promised potential for several years. Still, the current deal will put AT&T in several key locations, including 11 stations in mid-town Manhattan and 29 in Queens. This will equip about 70 stations total with AT&T connectivity by the end of the summer. There’s still a long way to go before the entire city is covered, but it’s a good start.
