Re: Welcome to the club.... The thing is that AT&T is adding tons of customers and the capex isn't keeping up. For what it's worth, dividing capex over all of AT&T's 87 million customers you get $218 per year per customer. Not bad considering there's OpEx involved and profits have to fit somewhere, but that amount is less than what a user would spend over a year on the iPhone data plan if we're talking about 2GB, and less than any contract-bound user pays as long as you don't count add-a-line.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't AT&T ARPU somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 at this point? Even with capex they're still making a healthy profit... |
