Not only do I want to know what AT&T does with it, but I want it... :D

HAHA!

These are usually used for long distance back haul between main & toll central offices. Main & toll CO's are usually the central hubs in a community where all other CO's tie to for LD connections and interconnections with other carriers. These will typically be equipped with microwave transceivers for wireless backhaul to another M&T CO. They are not always used as primary connectivity, but for backup usually. Although I have seen M&T CO's that only had microwave for primary (ie, no fiber). If you are ever on 2nd Avenue in Nashville, you'll see the Nashville M&T CO right next to Sbarro Pizza. Look up, and you'll see a bunch of microwave antenna. I sometimes think that's how they cook the pizza.
