Here's the impt excerpt from the aforementioned news: The steps [Michael] Armstrong has taken to strengthen AT&T's position in the competitive telecom market boil down to his self-described vision for the future. "I believe the world's most ubiquitous Internet access device will be the telephone," he said in a speech last month to the Harvard Business School Club of New York. "Today, the network gives you a dial tone that enables you to talk, to fax or to be online," he said. "Tomorrow, the network will give you a dial tone that automatically stores your messages, enables you to talk rather than type, and accesses information with a command from your thumb rather than computer jargon from a screen." He added that 75 percent of Internet transactions are comprised of messaging, chat and electronic mail, functions that would be accomplished more easily "with our thumb on a phone, not with two million lines of software on a PC." AT&T, he hopes, can provide that service.
