Wireless Data Keeps AT&T Growing

AT&T said that its revenues in the second quarter rose 2% year-on-year to 31.6 billion US dollars, after  removing the impact of the disposal of its advertising solutions unit.  The giant US telco reported that "wireless data revenues — driven by Internet access, access to applications, messaging and related services" — increased by 1 billion dollars, or 18.8%,  6.4 billion dollars.

AT&T said that approximately 27 million, or about two-thirds, of all its smartphone subscribers are on tiered data plans, compared to 45% a year ago, and about three-quarters of these have chosen the higher-tiered plans. source: AT&T presentation
