AT&T plans nearly $100 million upgrade in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) _ AT&T Inc. says it will spend nearly $100 million to improve service and expand wireless coverage in Ohio.

The company says the improvements should mean better reception and fewer dropped calls statewide and the expansion of faster network service to Gallipolis, Lancaster and Steubenville.

The company said Friday that it plans 67 new cell sites in Ohio and will upgrade emergency generators across the state to ensure extended service during a commercial power outage.
