AT&T ad introduces the carrier's LTE 4G service

Prior to Sunday, AT&T had a few cities that were covered by its spanking new LTE service. Unfortunately, the carrier had no smartphone that was LTE enabled which was why the introduction yesterday of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid was so important. At the same time, 5 new cities were added to AT&T's LTE line-up bringing the total to 9. To introduce the new service and phones, AT&T created a television commercial that shows just how fast 4G service can be.

Tailgating before the big game, AT&T's LTE users were able to snag a pair of seats on the 50 yard line, learn the status of an injured player, and call their bookie to make a huge wagerput up a video on Facebook and find out that someone stole the other team's mascot all before those using a 3G pipeline. This is just the start of the LTE era for AT&T and no doubt, we will soon be inundated with these ads for the carrier just like we have seen with Verizon.
