AT&T is having 6 2" conduits for fiber-optic cable run from Denver to Chicago. This cable is being run next to Middle Road in Bettendorf, and connects to the AT&T building in Davenport. It is still unclear on what they are going to use all of this bandwidth for, but this may help solve some of the phone and internet problems of the Quad City area.
