AT&T Using Wi-Fi to Remove Stress on thier 3G Network

February 15th, 2010

A recent AT&T survey indicates that in the past month 43 percent of smartphone users said they had connected to an AT&T hotspot at least once. In 2009, AT&T consumers connected to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot four times more often than they did in 2008.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, there were more than 35 million connections to the Net via an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. This is up by 10 million over the fourth quarter of 2008. The majority of these Wi-Fi connections are being made by smartphones, such as the iPhone, rather than laptops. In fact, 73 percent of Wi-Fi connections in AT&T hotspots came from “integrated devices” in the fourth quarter compared with 61 percent for all of 2009.

  • 75% of American business/enterprise smartphones are Blackberries (says Ostermann survey in 2009)
  • Today one in five smartphones sold – actually already 21% by the third quarter of 2009 – was a Blackberry. Remember that only 17% of smartphones are Apple iPhones.
  • A survey by TBI Research in 2009 found that 80% of US businesses refuse to have more than one operating system for smartphones – and in most cases that is now the Blackberry.
  • Out of all iPhones ever sold, 43% have been activated by AT&T
  • HTC is the fourth largest smartphone maker with about 5% of the market.
  • HTC CEO said in 2009 that 80% of all WinMo phones ever made, were manufactured by HTC.
  • Samsung had previously held something like 3% market share in smartphones, but – in feature phones with touch screens – they already outsell the iPhone.
  • Motorola’s global handset market share has been in total freefall for years – they have gone from 22% to 5% in three years.
  • Palm sells only about 800,000 smartphones per year
