AT&T Global Information Solutions has won a monster contract with Delta Air Lines, agreeing in principle to form a joint venture to provide computer services to Delta – effectively handing its operations in the computer area over to the AT&T Corp unit; under terms of the agreement, Delta will buy an estimated $2,800m in technology products and services from the joint venture over the next decade; the joint venture will also market and sell computing and communications systems to others in the travel and transport industries, excluding only airline and travel agency computer reservation systems.
