AT&T eyeing overseas opportunities?

While AT&T has directed most of its focus thus far to efforts in the United States, it seems that the carrier could be looking to expand its horizons a bit. Reportedly, the company is currently "seeking a license to offer mobile services in India," and although it's just for 2G, it could seek to offer 3G services if things prove successful. Additionally, there's been reports that Randall Stephenson, chief executive of the outfit, "signaled AT&T's interest in overseas expansion when he took over his current role this year identifying the Indian, Asian and Middle East markets as of particular interest." It's not like this is too far fetched or anything, though -- at this point, who wouldn't want a piece of India's blossoming market?

GOD I HOPE NOT!

Could you imagine the kind of America bashing we would get if AT&T made it to the Middle East! They already hate us enough as it is. Please AT&T, don't! Stick to the US, a country that already hates you. :)

they should expand theyre coverage in Mexico. That would be so cool! Cheaper roaming prices, possibly even free roaming in Mexico.

Hey AT&T how about you finish rolling out HSDPA in the US before you worry about bringing it to India, kthxbye.
