When asked whether the ads and AT&T's staggering quarterly loss sent a mixed message to customers already worried about a broader telecommunications meltdown, Heath was dismissive. He noted that the second-quarter profit, excluding costly one-time items, rose to 7 cents a share. That beat Wall Street forecasts of 3 cents a share, according to research firm Thomson First Call. "We're on track with all of our business results and still have a relatively healthy business structure and low debt," Heath said. "It was a very healthy report, and we're seeing some promising signs.".

An ad campaign strikes an ironic chord as the telecom giant woos WorldCom customers while announcing a $12.7 billion quarterly loss. But the timing of the campaign may strike an ironic chord with customers navigating the troubled telecommunications sector. Hours after the print ads debuted, AT&T announced its own $12.7 billion quarterly loss after charges to write down the value of some assets. Revenue in the second quarter fell 6.2 percent to $12.1 billion.

Because the signal is being transmitted from directly or almost directly above, the SkyTower system will cover areas that cannot receive satellite or terrestrial signals because large buildings or other obstacles are obstructing them. According to SkyTower, which is a subsidiary of solar-powered vehicles pioneer AeroVironment, a commercial launch of the airborne services could take place in 2005. Wireless on the wingThe upper wing of the Pathfinder-Plus plane is made up of solar panels, which generate the energy for the aircraft to remain in flight throughout the day. The plane must land at night, but SkyTower is trying to create fuel cells that would store enough energy to allow the plane to stay circling a city overnight.
