Yep, but we don't know to what extent that entails. Could just be their logo on a couple of the TVs. Doesn't mean they will have the post show put together.

True, but that means they'll have to do something by the end of the year. The AT&T logos cant hang around anymore.

First, please remember that I posted SSE's new sponsorship about two weeks ago. Secondly, read this quote from the Orlando Sentinal:

Walt Disney Co. has signed a 12-year marketing agreement with technology giant Siemens AG that includes rights for Siemens to sponsor attractions at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Siemens will have its brand on Epcot's Spaceship Earth, the nighttime Epcot fireworks show, "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth," as well as new exhibits that will be incorporated into the Innoventions areas at Epcot and Disneyland Resort in California, the companies said Tuesday.

Finally, I rode SSE tonight and can confirm two small changes: the attraction's lighting has been significantly improved and all the effects were working, including additional chariots riding in the background during the Rome scene (they're just moving horse-and-rider shadows); and every single AT&T logo but one has been removed from the attraction. The logos are even blocked out of the projections on the webcam and classroom scenes! The only logo left in the attraction is a decal on an object, and even that logo is mostly scraped off.
