I’ve worked with every single SBC and AT&T business unit under the sun and they all suck! You have a problem with your MPLS network and you are shot over to a guy who barely speaks English in the Czech Republic who can barely spell Cisco. They notoriously make infrastructure changes at their whim devastating the communications of their customers networks. Service is abhorrent from any side of the house. AT&T Uverse is horrible too. The only thing AT&T has going for it in it’s portfolio of services is that it had the iPhone! Let’s not forget AT&T was so crappy in the wireless realm that they dropped out of it. And only got back in when SBC pulled them out of insolvency and rebranded Cingular back to the AT&T. AT&T will never die because they are the default company when you have no other option.

A rising tide of iPhone sales across carriers. Interesting idea. Will know soon enough if this applies in the US.

It helps to understand that AT&T is a much bigger company that just AT&T Wireless, although Wireless contributes a large part of the market cap. Of the AT&T Wireless customers, not all are iPhone customers so the 16% number is misleading. It is made to sound like AT&T will lose 16% of its customers. Even if it loses 16% of its iPhone customers, the overall impact is far from a 16% loss of overall subscribers.

[...] will obviously be a huge boon to Verizon and Apple, but may result in a huge hit to AT&T…or be the best thing that’s ever happened to them. What’s interesting to us, though, are some of the details that were not mentioned. For [...]
