AT&T is running its Developer Summit during CES in Las Vegas, and today is the day they lay out their initiatives with the main keynote address. We're going to hear a lot about big carrier initiatives, mobile devices and anything else AT&T is excited about, and we'll be inside covering it live.

Wow. All that IoT discussion was like a rerun of Microsoft's Build 2014 Conference where they demonstrated all the stuff that can be run with Arduino and Bluetooth. The CityNext initiative is a fantastic example.
And what's with the iOS vs. Android question regarding cars? There's a 3rd option and since many car manufacturers are using Windows Embedded and Microsoft has demonstrated more willingness to play well with others (something Apple has trouble doing), it should be a no-brainer.
Thank you, Mobile Nations team for sitting through this...
I didn't even know there was such a thing as Dev Summit from AT&T. It's bad enough that AT&T can't unlock devices properly but the mentioning of a "developer" summit is just... cringe worthy.
The problem is not AT&T being the only one that release the phones. The problem is that because of the partnership with them , they are the only ones allowed to release flagships and that's what harming the ecosystem. Break that partnership and release everything on all carriers. In Europe Windows phone have better market share because they handle things different.
ATT didn't get the 925 till it was old and already on other services and they never did get the 930. The only two flagships they had exclusively were the 920 & 1520.
I want to know when they are giving us a U-Verse app for Windows Phones???...It sucks not being able to schedule recordings and manage my DVR while away from my house.
I'd gladly buy the app if it was available but I think it was made for WP7 and was never updated for WP8...We might never see this released on Windows phones unfortunately...This is one of my main reasons I may switch back to Android and hope I can return to Windows Phones if the app gap improves for ME personally...For some people the app gap doesn't exist but my list is long and my frustration is mounting.
Hey, AT&T, how about expanding HD voice to more devices? WP supports HD voice but there are only about 5 phones they will support for it, mainly the new iPhones and a couple of obscure androids.
One of the reasons Windows phone is stuck is because of the stupid decision of Microsoft/Nokia to choose AT&T as the primary carrier for their devices instead of doing what Apple, Samsung and others do. Release the devices on all carriers. The more exposure , the more probability of success.
Going by what Verizon and T-Mobile have done with their WP devices (Icon & Lumia 810 prematurely retired), I think partnering with ATT was the best choice they could have made.
They all suck. No WP support at all. A couple of friends of mine seriously interested in WP go to the verizon store and "surprise" no WP display units. So they went ahead and bought S5's
So at&t has, over the past 4 years, released more than a dozen windows phone powered devices, compared to what on the other 3 carriers? I'd hazard that the other 3 could total the amount at&t has made available. So how about y'all quit your bellyaching and be thankful that someone is behind the OS we enjoy. Sheesh!
...granted I don't like their meddling with the Qi charging, but id rather have the devices available than not have them at all.
Microsoft/Nokia does not have the market share to be able to do what Apple/Samsung do... Apple and Samsung are in a unique position to be able to control there own destiny, where as Microsoft, LG, HTC etc are all reliant on the carriers for support
Microsoft would LOVE to release on all carriers. They have no power to do this though... they need to carrier investment. Only AT&T had been willing to provide that so far... the others are putting in 2% effort at best.

I like AT&T because even though I don't live in USA I still got my unlocked Lumias from AT&T and then shipped to my country.

Lol
Unlocked International devices for me. Even if I have to sacrifice LTE

Still waiting Lumia Denim on my 1520...
Tired
boring.
C'maaaan 1030!
I love att but I hate how they charge me with alot of hidden fees that I did not sign up for
^^
Its all about Android anyway. Their commercial are all about iPhone.. Nothing about Windows phone. Nothing at all..
I want to know when they are giving us a U-Verse app for Windows Phones???...It sucks not being able to schedule recordings and manage my DVR while away from my house.
I want this too. There used to be a WP Uverse app... I think they charged extra to use it though. I never got the full story, and then they pulled it.

AT&T just announced an exclusive L920 in black. "Hey it's still a nice phone. Stop asking for more phones." ~AT&T
I hope this involves rebooting all of their apps because they are pure garbage on WP phones.
I don't understand why anyone cares about carrier apps. Just uninstall them... that's the beauty of WP.
Ask them when we're getting our update on 1520
Its coming man, its coming!

If I remember right, iPhone was an AT&T exclusive before the other carriers got them. So Apple also chose AT&T originally.
Is ATT tired of no WP flagship? Are they making their own???
That would be awesome but would probably be expensive as fck. Oh and would never happen
Is it a good time to say /s?
Yawn. What was the last ATT "initiative" that didn't involve them reaching into my pocket?
