AT&T Enhances 3G Signals in NYC - iPhone Gets Zip

AT&T has announced this morning that they have boosted the 3G coverage in, and around, NYC. With the addition of 200 third-generation (3G) cell sites, AT&T has expanded its mobile broadband network in Bay Ridge, Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Flatbush, Flushing, College Point, Bayside, Throggs Neck, Tremont, Fordham, City Island and Baychester. In New Jersey, the 3G network is also now available in Edgewater, Weehawken, Hoboken, Jersey City and Bayonne.

Of course iPhone owners need not worry! You get nothing. Deal with Edge - it's the best AT&T could do.  

"We are staying ahead of the growing demand for fast, dependable wireless broadband access to feature-rich Internet content, such as streaming video," said Tom DeVito, vice president and general manager for AT&T's wireless unit in New York and New Jersey. He went on to say, "Imagine the thrill of using your wireless phone to show grandparents in Florida their granddaughter taking her first steps in Bayridge or Bayonne." Yep, that's it, that's the plan.

Side note - anyone else had enough of the absolutely pathetic AT&T wireless commercials running now? Must be made by the same team who created the gem, "xyz killed the algo".
