AT&T Alascom to Deliver Exclusive Live Web Coverage of Alaska Small School Football Championship ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 8, 2007 - AT&T Alascom, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), today announced that it will be streaming Alaska's Small School Football Championship game live on its Web site,http://www.att.com/alascom. This is the first time that the championship game will be presented live on the Internet, so a worldwide audience will be able to view it. AT&T Alascom is the exclusive provider of the coverage; the game will not be broadcast on television or available on any other Web site. The game will be played Saturday, Oct. 13, 2007, at Anchorage Football Stadium. "Alaskans serving away from home in the Armed Forces are among those who will have the opportunity to see this game live via webcast," said Mike Felix, president, AT&T Alascom. "We're excited to deliver hometown football action to family members and friends of the players who can't be there in person." The webcast is made possible through partnerships with the Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) and the Alaska Sports Broadcasting Network (ASBN). ASBN is providing the audio portion of the programming. AT&T Alascom is an enthusiastic supporter of both organizations and recognizes that each makes unique contributions to supporting youth athletics in Alaska. "At ASAA, we work hard to support sanctioned interscholastic activities that promote positive academic growth and develop sportsmanship," said Gary Matthews, executive director of ASAA. "We rely on support from the business community, and when an organization such as AT&T Alascom steps forward in such a big way, the entire community benefits. If it weren't for AT&T Alascom's commitment to supporting the youth of our community, the state small school football championship would not have nearly as wide an audience as they will have now." In addition to streaming the game live, AT&T Alascom will keep a link to the coverage active on its Web site after the championship is over. The small school championship is for schools with fewer than 850 students. For more information about AT&T Alascom, please log on to att.com/alascom.
