AT&T 2.7 million new mobile users in the fourth quarter

Beijing time January 28 Evening News, according to foreign media reports, At&t Thursday released the fourth quarter of 2009 report, at&t the quarter added 2.7 million mobile users. At&t said 1 million new mobile subscribers were added in the fourth quarter of 2009. AT&T currently provides network support for e-readers such as the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and Barnes &noble. At&t also said that in the fourth quarter of last year, 3.1 million new iphones were activated, hitting the second-highest quarterly record.　　This shows that the iphone still has great appeal to users. In the fourth quarter of last year, At&t added more mobile subscribers than Verizon, the main competitor, which added 2.2 million mobile users. However, the quarter signed a long-term use agreement with At&t only 910,000 users, below Verizon's 1.2 million.　　Users who sign a long-term use contract usually have a higher monthly service charge. It should be noted that at&t currently receives very little revenue through each e-reader.　　But even so, Apple is still a leader in the mobile services market, which is considered the next big growth opportunity for mobile operators. At&t is currently the exclusive American operator of the iphone. Christopher King, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher Kim, said it was not clear whether Apple would continue to overwhelm At&t's network with the iphone's demand for data services. Operators such as Verizon are likely to gain the right to operate the iphone this year, he said. (D-Gold)
