"Our launch with Apple of the breakthrough iPhone has quickly redefined customer expectations for their wireless experience, initial response was unprecedented, and sales in July continue to be strong.
In the second quarter of 2007, AT&T reported revenues of $29.5 billion, up from $15.8 billion in the year-earlier quarter, prior to AT&T’s acquisition of BellSouth Corporation and the accompanying consolidation of wireless results.
AT&T’s reported net income for the second quarter totaled $2.9 billion, compared with $1.8 billion in the year-earlier quarter. Reported earnings per diluted share totaled $0.47 versus $0.46 in the second quarter of 2006.
AT&T’s adjusted second-quarter earnings, which exclude costs and accounting effects associated with major acquisitions, were $4.3 billion, or $0.70 per diluted share, up from $2.3 billion, or $0.58 per diluted share
