at&t iphone activation is expected to reach 4.5 million this quarter

Beijing time September 14 morning news, according to foreign media reports, U.S. market research company Hudson Square Monday reported that At&t's iphone activation in the quarter is expected to reach 4.5 million, the chain growth of 41%, thereby helping the company to attract more users. Todd Rethemeier, an analyst at Hudson Square, previously predicted that At&t's iphone activation in the third quarter was 350 Russer. He also raised At&t's monthly net increase from 600,000 to 750,000.　　At&t last quarter's iphone activation volume was 3.2 million, with a monthly net increase of 496,000 subscribers. "iphone demand still seems to be very strong," Russer Mayer said in a report. Many stores have recently been cut off and online orders have been waiting for about 1-3 weeks. "Since the iphone 2007 IPO, AT&T has been the exclusive operator of the product in the United States and has withstood the competition of Verizon Wireless and Sprint."　　Earlier sources said Verizon Wireless will be allowed to sell the iphone as early as next January, while At&t will lose exclusive U.S. operations. "At&t is locking more users with a two-year contract," Russer said. If the exclusive right to operate the iphone ends this winter, it will be important to lock those users.　　He recommends buying at&t stock. Russer Mayer also lowered the AT&T's earnings forecast for the third quarter from $0.62 trillion to $0.54, as a subsidy to existing at&t users who want to upgrade their iphone. Analysts expect At&t to achieve 0.57 dollars per share in the third quarter. (PEI)
