AT&T announced that it will be abandoning plans to bring in-flight wireless connectivity. The carrier will not be bringing its 4G LTE service to the skies as previously planned through an
air-to-ground-based service for domestic flights, citing that in-flight connectivity is too risky of an investment.</p> <!--break--> <p>In a statement to Runway Girl Network, AT&T said:</p>
<p>As AT&T explores opportunities for future growth and diversification, expanding our international presence has remained an area of interest. On Friday we announced our intent to acquire Mexico wireless company Iusacell. After a thorough review of our investment portfolio, the company decided to no longer pursue entry into the Inflight Connectivity industry. We are focusing our capital on transformative investments, such as international and video.</p>
