It's important for a community to engage the wireless industry very early in the process when writing or rewriting <br />an ordinance. It's helpful to the wireless industry to understand the local zoning laws, ordinances, application <br />review and approval processes, height restrictions, setback limitations, etc. Alternative suggestions can be <br />offered that achieves a community's goal while allowing wireless to reach more citizens. We both have the same <br />goals in mind, so it's a good way to develop a strong and effective working relationship. <br />Here again, it's also important to review your local ordinances and make them as clear and concise as possible <br />and consistent with the stated goals. Confusion and ambiguity are the biggest obstacles to getting a success- <br />ful cell site established in a prompt, efficient way. AT&T wants to engage communities very early on so that we <br />choose an optimal cell site location that works for the community and for our engineering requirements. Again, <br />the community and AT&T work together in the process. We both want to deliver broadband capabilities to house- <br />holds, schools and business as quickly and efficiently as possible. <br />We're really excited about our investment in 4G LTE across the country. LTE means mobile speeds 10 times faster <br />than 3G. That means being able to do everything on your tablet or smartphone that you do on your wired laptop. <br />That will deliver real benefits in areas like healthcare, educations, economic development andjob creation. The <br />goal is to deploy 4G LTE technologies across the nation. And, we've made tremendous progress. You can expect <br />this type of buildout to continue and accelerate in the coming months and years. <br />
