You might not associate AT&T with gaming but if you play World of Warcraft you are playing on a server that has hosting and network support from the massive telecommunications company. Today AT&T announced they have renewed their long-standing agreement with Blizzard to continue their hosting and networking services for two more years.

AT&T has been hosting Blizzard's network infrastructure for the past nine years, including their Battle.net service and World of Warcraft servers in the US. The new two year agreement will likely see even more activity as Blizzard will almost certainly launch StarCraft II during that time period. A new version of Battle.net is likely to be launched alongside the sci-fi RTS game. Blizzard also has Diablo III on deck which will also use the Battle.net service.
