AT&T Inc. on Thursday said fourth-quarter earnings jumped almost 62%, boosted by acquisitions and the addition of an industry record 2.7 million net mobile customers.Thoughts, in no particular order: 1) Hope Steve is getting a nice basket of fruit today. 2) They ought to use it to buy APPL stock 3) Oh shit, a story about how well AT&T is doing because of their alliance with Apple? Cory is going to have a cow. (Then again, what else is new?)
The carrier’s gain likely came largely at the expense of Sprint Nextel Corp. which has been losing customers owing to poorer customer service and a less exciting roster of wireless phones.4) Marketwatch.com went on to say that Sprint’s mother dresses him funny and he smells like curry. 5) Given that when my contract expired July 3, 2007 Sprint offered me (a largely-satisfied customer for the previous 4 years) a Treo 755p for $430 when new customers could get it for $280, I can’t imagine why they lost so many customers to the iPhone / AT&T. 6) Wonder what Fake Steve will have to say about this.
