AT&T acquires Easterbrooke Cellular

ELKINS, W.Va., Jan 03, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that it has completed, through
a subsidiary, an acquisition of the assets, including licenses,
network assets and subscribers, of Easterbrooke Cellular Corporation.
Easterbrooke is a provider of wireless communications services in West
Virginia and operates under the Cellular One brand.

The addition of Easterbrooke's wireless network will allow AT&T to
deliver broader wireless coverage to customers in West Virginia,
including Easterbrooke's more than 19,000 subscribers, and will
complement AT&T's existing network in West Virginia. AT&T customers
will enjoy wider in-network coverage in these areas, and Easterbrooke
customers will gain access to AT&T's portfolio of products and
services, as well as to the nation's largest voice and data network,
which covers more than 290 million people in 13,000 U.S. cities and
towns.

AT&T will immediately begin to integrate and enhance the
Easterbrooke and AT&T wireless networks. AT&T plans to make virtually
the full portfolio of AT&T products and services available to
Easterbrooke's subscribers in the first quarter of 2008.

After the integration process is complete, Easterbrooke customers
may migrate to AT&T rate plans without incurring upgrade fees. During
a transition period, AT&T will honor the current rate plans of
Easterbrooke customers. Easterbrooke customers who choose AT&T calling
plans will benefit from Rollover(R [1]: 44.22, -1.69, -3.68%) Minutes, a feature exclusive to
AT&T that allows customers to roll over their unused minutes to the
next month for up to one year. Easterbrooke customers who choose AT&T
calling plans will also have access to free Mobile to Mobile calling
to the rest of AT&T's 67.3 million wireless customers.

The completion of the acquisition of Easterbrooke's assets comes
after a review process, which included approval by or filings with the
state of West Virginia, the Federal Communications Commission and the
Department of Justice.
