AT&T Provides to Land Rover and Jaguar

The nation's second-largest wireless carrier said on Thursday that it had signed a multi-year deal to provide a cellular connection to Jaguar Land Rover's vehicles. AT&T said it began offering a wireless connection to Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models this month. It's the latest win by AT&T, which has aggressively pushed to add a wireless connection to several major auto makers, including General Motors, Audi, Tesla and others. AT&T sees connected cars as alternative growth engine as its core smartphone business starts to cool down amid mounting industry competition. AT&T customers with a connected Land Rover or Jaguar can pay an additional $10 a month to add their vehicle to a Mobile Share Value family plan. Or they can pay $5 a day for 250 megabytes of data or 30-day passes that range between $10 and $50 a month. A 12 month, 10 gigabyte plan costs $199 a year. Jaguar didn't provide details on how non-AT&T customers could sign up for the service.
