HARPSWELL, Maine, May 6 -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for mobile devices and services, AT&T* today announced the activation of a new cell site in Harpswell that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses.

The new cell site is one part of AT&T's ongoing effort to drive innovation and extend its mobile network.  It is also part of our ongoing investment to build the networks that will fuel economic growth and create jobs, and enable AT&T's customers to quickly access the content, applications and services that matter most to them.

"As policymakers, we try to make decisions that encourage businesses to invest in Maine.  Investments like this provide accessibility to the latest technology to our residents and attract new business that will help strengthen the local economy," said state Sen. Stan Gerzofsky.

"More than ever before, customers look to wireless communications to stay in touch with family, friends and business colleagues," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager, AT&T New England. "We're working to make this possible by adding new wireless coverage and offering exciting products to help our customers stay connected with their world, at home and on the go."
