More than 2.4million iPhone activations in the second quarter, reflecting a record-setting iPhone 3GS launch.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today reported second-quarter results
highlighted by strong wireless growth, including a substantial step up
in retail postpaid subscriber additions and continued robust growth in
wireless data revenues. Results also included double-digit growth in
IP-based revenues from AT&T U-verse services and advanced business
offerings.
Progress in these areas and solid cost
management largely offset economic pressures and increased volume-based
acquisition costs associated with the company’s highly successful
iPhone 3GS launch to drive financial results that were generally in
line with the first quarter of 2009.
