they have discounted lines available, however they are in the process of scaling down their authorized dealer locations, so in july 2008 there most likely wont be a need for this question or answer

I work for a dealer and haven't heard anything. ATT is actually paying for our remodel. Why would they scale back and pay for remodels? Especially since the company I work for brings in far more activations than the local Cor presence does over all.

Well....

That is for my store demo lines I give to customers, demo lines for displays, etc.
