AT&T to offer mobile service in Chicago Subways

AT&T (NYSE: T) is joining Cricket, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and U.S. Cellular to offer its mobile service in Chicago Subways. As a result of allowing the carrier to do so on the red and blue line subways, the city’s transit authority (CTA) expects to earn a minimum of $3.1 million over the life of the contract.
Installation and testing of AT&T’s equipment will take place over the next several months, after which the service is set to start operating later in the year.
As a reminder, CTA installed a new technology to enhance the existing two-way radio system in 2005. This improved system laid the groundwork for the agency to generate additional revenue by leasing its infrastructure to the carriers throughout the 11.4 mile subway system.
