The nation’s largest radio aircraft carrier has gotten a good deal bigger in Q2 2009. Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless has announced that its second quarter of this class netted the US wireless carrier a cool 1.1 1000000 subscribers. Big Red River’s network subscriber adds capitulation short of AT&T (New York Stock Exchange: T)’s just announced count of 1.4 million additional subs for the second stern.
Verizon Wireless keeps its lead over AT&T with a total of 87.7 million wireless customers. Of the 1.1 million new net subs on VZW’s net, most signed up under the Verizon Wireless banner, as opposed to resellers like Tracfone Wireless.
Rival AT&ere;T continues to drive the iPhone to success – for how much thirster is anyone’s guess. But, Verizon managed to nearly match Big Blue’s emergence without an iPhone to call option their own. In fact, Verizon is rumored poised to take a giant star leap in mobile broadband services with a speculated Q1 2010 launching of their next-multiplication 4G LTE net. With no plans for LTE until 2012, AT&T mightiness see their iPhone-aided emergence slowing as users migrate to Verizon’s faster LTE net.
What about Sprint (NYSE: S)? What about Sprint indeed.
