Verizon Wireless added a net of 1.6 million customers (added 1.8 million
retail customers, lost 200 thousand wholesale customers) for a total of
61.8 million retail customers and 63.7 total customers.  Almost all the
retail additions were post-paid customers.

Verizon's churn is an industry low, at 1.21% retail and .96 retail
post-paid.

Verizon scored a 14.4% increase in total revenue at $11.3 billion, making
it the largest US wireless company based on total revenue.  Data revenue
is up 63.4%.

By comparison, AT&T Mobility's 2 million new customers break down to 1.4
million retail customers (1.2 million postpaid, 200 thousand prepaid), and
600 thousand wholesale (mostly TracFone) customers.  This, in spite of all
of the iPhone foofaraw.

Note that a whopping 40% of AT&T's new customers are prepaid (directly or
TracFone), lower-quality markets that Verizon is busily exiting.  This
also indicates that quite a few iPhones were sold to existing AT&T
customers instead of bringing in new customers.

"Verizon is really hurting due to iPhone."  NOT!!  ;-)
