(NYSE:T - news), the No. 1 U.S. long-distance carrier, said Tuesday it had signed a deal to buy Brazilian-based telecommunications company Netstream. AT&T said it will initially invest $300 million in Netstream, which provides high-speed Internet, voice, data and video services to the corporate world.
