| Re: Net Additions If you read the AT&T 4Q Earnings Summary presentation, you will see a slide on page 4 discussing the BLS Merger. In a nutshell, AT&T reported the BLS impacts as "other" and focused the report on AT&T earnings/performance. A separate section is dedicated to the 4Q BLS results. Also, the summary states starting with 1Q 2007, the results will be combined. AT&T has been consistently adding 350K+ DSL subscribers per quarter. 383K new DSL subscribers seems to be accurate for AT&T only. | |

| Re: Net Additions Seems confusing because they included this also which indicates that these are pro-forma results:
"On Dec. 29, 2006, AT&T completed its acquisition of BellSouth Corporation. Therefore, BellSouth results and 100 percent of Cingular results for the final two days of the year are included in AT&T's fourth-quarter 2006 consolidated revenues and expenses."
It shows BellSouth with 183K net adds for the quarter. But I am sure that they would combine the 2 since the revenue is for both companies combined. Who knows. | |
