AT&T Shows Tremendous Growth With Q4’10 Numbers
AT&T has just released their 4th quarter 2010 numbers, as well as numbers for 2010 overall. They enjoyed tremendous growth last quarter adding 2.8 million subscribers, pushing them to 8.9 million on the year – the most growth they’ve ever enjoyed. (But still sitting second behind Verizon with 95.5 million subscribers.)
I’m sure a majority of their success has been due to the launch of the iPhone 4, but AT&T also gives a quick nod to the addition of 442,000 “new wireless” subscribers (tablet users) last quarter, attributing success to the iPad and Android-based tablets. (Their only Android-based tablet is the Samsung Galaxy Tab.)
They’re up 2.1% in consolidated revenues since the same quarter last year bringing in $653 million more than they did at the same point last year and posting 9.9% and 9.6% in wireless revenues and wireless service revenues, respectively. (To be quite honest, we’re not sure how the two differentiate from each other.
As far as smartphone-specific numbers, they added 4.1 million new iPhone activations out of a total 7.4 million devices, but we can’t assume the majority of the rest are comprised of Android phones considering they carry the latest Blackberry handset and Windows Phone 7.
