investment is especially important to consumers and businesses in southern Ohio who are working
hard to rebuild our state’s economy.‖

connectivity, a wide range of smartphone and other device options, and simultaneous voice and data

spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T
has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report,
