POPULATION DESCRIPTION

With increased use of technology for daily activities, the COVID?19 public health emergency underscored how critical broadband has become for people across the country, including those in Oklahoma. AT&T takes a multifaceted approach to addressing the issue of affordability of broadband services, including offering tiered pricing in our fiber footprint to provide customers with a variety of options. We also offer specially designed programs for low-income households and participate in government sponsored subsidy programs. To help close the digital divide, AT&T will invest $2 billion over the next 3 years. As part of that commitment, we continue to offer discounted wireless solutions to more than 135,000 public and private K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. And through AT&T Connected Learning, we are investing in digital inclusion, literacy, learning and employment solutions to help connect today?s learners with skills, resources, and opportunities for success in school and in life.

PERFORMANCE MEASURING

AT&T Oklahoma conducts detailed analyses of any program requirements and performs rigorous business planning to ensure that we can meet all project requirements. We take our regulatory and contractual commitments seriously and have the expertise and experience to deliver. AT&T Oklahoma has a history of meeting its commitments to deploy both fixed and mobile broadband on time and within budget. We are a scale network provider with extensive resources and a robust supply chain and are committed to defining a schedule, measuring project performance, and collecting necessary data once the scope of the project is more fully defined.
