AT&T Mobility said it supports unlocking customers’ devices if they have met the terms of their service contract and it has the unlock code for a device. The clarification came from AT&T as senators introduced legislation to protect unlocking.

The Library of Congress kick started the issue by ruling that there is no copyright exemption for unlocking cellphones, making unauthorized unlocking illegal.

“While we think the Librarian’s careful decision was reasonable, the fact is that it has very little impact on AT&T customers,” Joan Marsh, AT&T’s vice president of federal regulatory affairs, wrote in the blog post. “As we make clear on our website, if we have the unlock code or can reasonably get it from the manufacturer, AT&T currently will unlock a device for any customer whose account has been active for at least sixty days; whose account is in good standing and has no unpaid balance; and who has fulfilled his or her service agreement commitment.  If the conditions are met we will unlock up to five devices per account per year. We will not unlock devices that have been reported lost or stolen.”

The ViaSat-1 satellite that powers Exede Internet service has earned a Guinness World Records title as the highest-capacity communications satellite orbiting the earth, providing North America with more capacity than any other communications satellite.

The innovation that made this satellite possible is transforming Internet service for hundreds of thousands of customers who can now receive high-speed, high-quality service. In fact, since Exede’s introduction a little over a year ago, more than 200,000 subscribers have signed up. Exede is not just attractive for those with no service or frustratingly slow service. A full 40 percent of Exede customers have switched from slower DSL, cable and wireless services.

This new record comes on the heels of another milestone for Exede. In a recent FCC benchmarking report, 2013 Measuring Broadband America, Exede service led all Internet providers in surpassing advertised speeds. According to the report, performance testing among DSL, cable, fiber and satellite showed 90 percent of Exede subscribers received 140 percent or better of our advertised download speed of 12 Mbps during peak periods – and 161 percent of advertised upload speeds.
