AT&T Features Oasis, All Around the World

AT&T Inc., anxious to let consumers know it doesn't intend on allowing cable operators to poach its customers without a fight, will break its own marketing spending record in a massive 2006 ad campaign involving TV, online, radio, billboard and print media.

Compute Concentration is a Sovereignty Issue Gartner expects hyperscalers and service providers buying AI-optimized servers to remain the largest single area of spending. For an enterprise, t...
