Conversion to Web Portal
AT&T created att.net as a web portal in 1995 in support of AT&T Worldnet service, a dial-up Internet access offering. Following the merger of AT&T and SBC, and the subsequent acquisition of BellSouth, the purpose of the att.net portal widened—it was made to serve as the portal not only for Worldnet customers, but also for customers of BellSouth Dial and BellSouth DSL, as well as for all AT&T ISP customers in the SBC territory who had not elected to use the SBC/Yahoo! portal. In an effort to make the most of the relationship with Yahoo! and to simplify its offerings, AT&T determined that it would close the legacy, internally-developed portal at att.net. A plan was developed for all AT&T ISP customers to be provisioned with AT&T-branded accounts on the Yahoo! portal and with Yahoo! premium-level e-mail accounts, and that the web address for this unified portal would be www.att.net. AT&T began migrating customers off the old Worldnet/att.net portal and on to the Powered by Yahoo! portal in December 2008, and the final migrations are scheduled to be completed in May 2010.Conversion to AT&T Internet Services
