AT&T’s ongoing build of a dedicated, nationwide LTE network for first responders creates a near-term revenue opportunity as a police, firefighters and other public safety officials buy into the service, but also sets the stage for future 5G-related service revenues, according to AT&T CFO John Stephens.
Stephens, speaking this week at he Morgan Stanley European Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in Barcelona, said AT&T is currently selling FirstNet to 3,600 public safety agencies but the opportunity is bigger.
