AT&T Inc. is a leading global telecommunications and digital entertainment company offering wireless voice and data services, broadband internet, digital television and legacy voice services. Through its AT&T Mobility segment, the company delivers 5G and LTE connectivity to consumers and businesses across the United States and parts of Mexico. Its broadband offerings include fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) under the AT&T Fiber brand, while digital video services are provided via platforms such as DIRECTV, AT&T TV and U-verse.
Established in 1885 as the American Telephone and Telegraph Company by Alexander Graham Bell, AT&T helped pioneer long-distance telephony and laid the groundwork for the modern communications industry. Over time, the company has expanded through major mergers, including the acquisition of BellSouth in 2006 and the integration of Cingular Wireless, and has refined its portfolio by divesting non-core assets such as WarnerMedia to focus on connectivity and network services.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, AT&T serves millions of residential, enterprise and government customers in the United States, Mexico and select international markets. Its Business Solutions unit delivers cloud hosting, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and unified communications to small businesses and large enterprises. On the consumer side, AT&T continues to invest in nationwide network upgrades, fiber expansion and enhanced streaming capabilities to support evolving customer demands.
Since July 2020, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Stankey has led AT&T’s strategic transformation, prioritizing network modernization, operational efficiency and growth in high-margin segments. Under his leadership, the company is focused on strengthening its 5G footprint, expanding fiber access and forging strategic partnerships to improve customer experience and capture new revenue streams in a competitive regulatory environment.
