AT&T tees up 1-Gig XGS-PON speeds in more than 40 cities

AT&T is starting to travel down the XGS-PON deployment pathway with the recent launch of up to 1 Gbps speeds in over 40 U.S. cities. The long-term goal for AT&T's XGS-PON deployments is reaching up to 10 Gbps, which would give it a counter measure to the cable industry's 10G initiative.
