Sharing the iPhone With Verizon Doesn't Kill AT&T

Last quar ter was the first time AT&T had to share the iPhone with Ver i zon. But there seems to be enough to go around.

The car ri er says it acti vat ed 3.6 mil lion iPhones in Q1. That's down from 4.1 mil lion in Q4 2010, but up from the same quar ter a year ago, when it turned on 2.7 mil lion Apple hand sets.

AT&T says 23 per cent of its iPhone acti va tions were new sub scribers. Which is anoth er way of say ing that given the choice to head to Ver i zon, about 4 out of every 5 AT&T iPhone users stayed put.

The car ri er's earn ings release said almost noth ing about its planned acqui si­tion of T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom for $39 bil lion, but we'll expect to hear more about that dur ing the con fer ence call later this morn ing.
