Carrier AT&T (NYSE:T) recently entered into a shouting match with T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), following the latter's announcement of providing first responders with free 5G coverage for ten years. AT&T's already got such a network called FirstNet, and T-Mobile's believes that AT&T is overcharging first responders through it. Now, a couple of days after AT&T's spokesperson stated that T-Mobile's decision to base its free 5G coverage conditional on a Sprint merger was dishonest, AT&T is out with some numbers. Take a look below for more details.

In a press release, AT&T has revealed the scope of its 4G LTE investments in Nebraska. The company's numbers state that it invested $70 million into the state's wireless network infrastructure in the two years between 2016 and 2018. The release also mentions AT&T's FirstNet platform for providing cellular data packages and connectivity to first responders, and instead of making promises about 5G, the carrier is detailing how it continues to provide services to a vast majority of Americans.
