AT&T Tops Verizon - But Which Customers Are More Satisfied?

What is the first thing that any financial advisor tells anyone?.... Diversify! The iPhone is not going to cut it for AT&T. All stock and investment analysts are guiding their customers away from at&t because they bought their iPhone customers. Verizon earns their customers. At&t took a $400 hit on every customer that buys the 3G iPhone. That is over a billion $$. Verizon was approached first by Apple for exclusivity for the iPhone but it was not a smart financial decision for them so they turned it down; Apple wanted entirely too much revenue share. Take out the iPhone and At&T is struggling. What happens when the next trendy phone comes along and another carrier has it. Those iPhone users will switch again in a heartbeat. They may not say so know, but wait until it comes down the pike and knocks their socks off.

Bottom line, when you measure balance sheet to balance sheet, network to network, Verizon is Paul Bunyan and At&T is Giminee cricket.
