Fierce Wireless brought to light a new AT&T bundle plan aimed at small business. In essence it’s a one bill play combining wireless, wired and high speed Internet services, all starting at less than $100 a month.
This is a way to simplify billing, and to get more of each customers business across their different operating units.
My take is that you will likely see AT&T move in the direction of one network that covers all their offerings and that one network will first look seamless to users before it really is, but over time there will be just one IP infrastructure, including mobile, where the fiber is all internetworked.
Cisco will have to be smiling on the news of one bill, as this is a clear tell to me, that AT&T is heading that way.
