He waves at his neighbor, who has just posted
on Twitter with her smartphone.
A runner cranks up the workout mix
on his iPhone and starts jogging
down his brownstone-lined street.
The neighbor waves back. Then she
and her puppy head up the street
as she uses AT&T FamilyMap on her
mobile phone to check that her
daughter got to school OK.
She walks past a gas station, where
another woman swipes her debit card
at the pump — within seconds a server
at an AT&T Internet data center has
approved the transaction.
Using voice-activated calling, he tells
his business partner to go ahead to
the Marriott hotel for the meeting.
This client’s important, so they’re using
GoThere Virtual Meetings, enabled by
AT&T Telepresence Solution, to meet
“face to face.”
The business partner is working at the
local coffee shop, catching up on news
with his eReader over the café’s
AT&T-powered Wi-Fi network.
As he leaves for the
meeting, he e-mails
his assistant to let
her know he’ll be
out of the office the
rest of the day.
The gift is perfect. While waiting
for the clerk to ring it up, the
assistant uses her wireless phone
to set the U-verse DVR to record
her favorite show that night.
It’s a slow morning, so the assistant heads to
the corner boutique to buy a gift she
found on the store’s AT&T-hosted
Web site. She just needs to check
it out in person before buying.
“The power is out, guess I’ll walk the dog!”
After leaving the gas station, the driver pulls over to let another car pass,
thinking: “He’s in a hurry!” The other driver is in a hurry — he’s running
late — plus AT&T Navigator alerts him to heavy traffic ahead.
