AT&T aims to cover 70 to 75 million pops by the end of 2011 in an unspecified number of markets. Stankey said that AT&T will develop its LTE network to coexist and work alongside itss UMTS/HSDPA network, which it will continue to invest in and expand. AT&T plans to spend $700 million on its LTE network this year, and "way beyond that" in 2011. AT&T also said that it plans to upgrade its existing HSPA network to HSPA+ by the end of 2010, which should bump download speeds to a theoretical max of 7.2Mbps.
