12:45 PM -- NEW YORK -- Ethernet Expo Americas 2010 -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) gave out some interesting updates on its Ethernet services plan this morning.

It was part of an innovators' panel convened by Heavy Reading analyst Stan Hubbard, who by night fights crime (and latency) as Etherman. The panel also included good talks from tw telecom inc. (Nasdaq: TWTC) and Verizon Enterprise Solutions , but I'm singling out AT&T for a couple of details from Richard Klapman, AT&T's director of Ethernet access product management, that I found compelling.
