AT&T to test use of cable for local service in area

From staff and wire reports

The Metroplex will be one of AT&T Corp.'s test markets as AT&T speeds up efforts to offer local phone service over cable
lines through its planned takeover of Tele- Communications Inc.

AT&T announced yesterday that it will spend an additional $2 billion this year to more quickly upgrade TCI's cable systems to
handle packages of TV, local phone and Internet services. It will offer those services in 10 markets this year to gauge demand for
them.

Residents in Arlington, Dallas, Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Flower Mound, Grand Prairie and Plano will be among the first
nationally to have access to the new service, as test markets.
