AT&T = Smart

It may not boast the most subscribers – Verizon tops that list – but AT&T is by far the leading carrier for smartphone users in the U.S. According to an announcement made late last week, twice as many smartphone users subscribe to AT&T than any other U.S. carrier. As of March, AT&T had 11.8 million smartphone customers – more than double the 5.1 million customers of Verizon and Alltel combined. The company attributes its success to the fact that it offers the nation’s fastest 3G network, as well as 20,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country. Strangely absent from AT&T’s announcement was any mention of Apple’s iPhone and the role it played in the company’s market dominance.
