AT&T’s CEO Randall Stephenson had much to say about the iphone at a conference earlier this week. Stephenson was quoted saying, “My only regret was how we introduced pricing in the beginning, because how did we introduce pricing? Thirty dollars and you get all you can eat.” Stephenson also went on to say that the high volume smartphone users were costing the carrier so much the low volume users were having to off set the cost. Over 70% of smartphones activated last quarter were iphones. That’s what I call Apple getting their piece of the pie.
The CEO also was bitching over iMessage use. I wonder if he realizes how much of the iphone revenue has helped maintain his job or get him pay raises or bonuses he cashes in when the revenue hits an all time high. Look below at the screenshot taken from 9to5mac quoting him crying about iMessage and how he loses sleep. I really don’t believe that.
Do you believe CEO Stephenson is losing sleep? Let us know what you think below in the comments.
