AT&T shareholders can send me a thank you note

Remember that ginormous AT&T bill I ran up while using my iPhone here on Ibiza? The company just reported a 30% surge in second-quarter profits as subscriber use of Internet and e-mail on phones spurred a large gain in data revenue, The Wall Street Journal (paid subscription usually required) is now reporting.

  1. Jim,

    How much of that gain by ATT is attributed to the iphone? I believe that the iphone is compatible only with the ATT network and Apple has seen tremendous sales because of it.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
