AT&T Annual Report 2008
8
We also offer a full portfolio of
mobile phones to match every
need, lifestyle and pocketbook:
from GoPhone® prepaid phones
to a large lineup of devices
designed for easy texting, from
video-capable devices to a
full suite of smartphones.
Doing more on the network
Today, keeping people connected
means helping them access their
favorite content and applications
— from wherever they are and on
whatever device they’re using.
7:30 a.m. My alarm
goes off, and I start
blasting Ludacris to wake
myself up.
iPhone 3G alarm.
Music on iTunes.
8 a.m. Surfing the Web
over breakfast to catch up
on my favorite blogs and
check the weather. Hmm
… cloudy and 37 degrees
today. Better grab my coat.
Surfing the Web is easy
with superfast U-verse Max
18 Mbps Internet service.
That’s why we’re giving our
customers more content choices
— and delivering additional
capabilities to their wireless
handsets. By the end of last year,
our customers had access to more
than 90,000 pieces of mobile
content — ranging from mobile
banking and social networking
services to local search with
YELLOWPAGES.COM Mobile
and international mapping and
directions with AT&T Navigator.
As customers used their wireless
devices to do more things, we
saw our wireless data revenues
grow by more than 50 percent
each quarter in 2008. Today, we
are the leader in wireless data,
and we remain focused on helping
our customers do even more.
Defining the future
Mobility isn’t just about people
connecting with people. We
are quickly moving toward a
world in which any electronic
device can wirelessly connect
to our network. To address
this opportunity, we created
a new organization to bring
wireless connectivity to entirely
new classes of devices and
applications — including in-car
entertainment, navigation systems,
cameras, book readers, gaming
devices and many more. By some
estimates, service revenues
from these mobile Internet and
machine-to-machine devices could
reach more than $90 billion by
2013.3 We will be positioned
to capitalize on this growth.
Today, more than 1 billion devices
connect to AT&T’s wired and
wireless networks — and it took
us more than a century to get
there. As we continue to pioneer
new ways for people and devices
AT&T all day.”
“I count on
AT&T added more wireless subscribers
in 2008 than any other U.S. carrier.
