AT&T Will be the Largest Wireless ISP in the United States

Is AT&T about to become the nation's biggest fixed wireless ISP? It appears AT&T might well take that mantle, assuming AT&T’s acqusition of DirecTV is approved.

AT&T expects the fixed wireless service will provide downstream speeds between 15 Mbps and 20 Mbps.
