AT&T in Good Shape on Connected Cars, de la Vega Tells Investors

AT&T is well positioned on connected cars and spectrum, an executive told investors Monday. Vice Chairman Ralph de la Vega said automakers sell many cars into Mexico and Canada. With the carrier's roaming agreements in Canada and its growing network in Mexico, customers in both nations who buy AT&T-connected vehicles can get service comparable to what they would get in the U.S., he said. AT&T is in its best spectrum position ever, with 40 MHz of fallow spectrum to build on, said de la Vega at a J.P. Morgan conference. He said AT&T sees itself in a strong position going into the FCC incentive auction.
