AT&T (NYSE: T) said on Tuesday it is creating a new business unit focused on content delivery and named executive Cathy Martine as the leader of that section.
The company said it wants to expand its business of delivering online media, moving into more direct competition with specialized content delivery companies such as Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) and Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW).
As more companies launch Web sites with video and interactive features, AT&T said it will spend nearly $70 million by the end of the year to bolster its network infrastructure across the United States, Europe and parts of Asia.
