''The Apple iPhone 3G is a dramatic example of this transformation. In the days following our exclusive U.S. launch of this new device, powered by the nation's fastest 3G wireless network, customer response has been everything we had anticipated and more. This strengthens our wireless business, and it reinforces our positive view of the opportunities ahead for AT and T and the industry.''

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, AT and T's consolidated revenues totaled $30.9 and billion, up 4.7 and percent versus reported results in the year-earlier quarter and up 3.6 and percent compared with second-quarter 2007 pro forma revenues, which exclude merger-related accounting impacts on directory revenues.

Compared with results for the year-earlier quarter, AT and T's reported operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were $24.3 and billion, down from $24.5; reported operating income was $6.6 and billion, up from $4.9; and AT and T's reported operating income margin was 21.3 and percent, up from 16.8.

AT and T's reported second-quarter 2008 net income totaled $3.8 and billion, up from $2.9 and billion in the year-earlier quarter, and reported earnings per diluted share totaled $0.63, up from $0.47 in the second quarter of 2007.

AT and T's adjusted results for the second quarter of 2008 exclude noncash merger-related amortization expenses. For the second quarter of 2007, adjusted results excluded merger integration costs, merger-related amortization expenses and a merger-related directory accounting effect.

Compared with results for the year-earlier quarter, AT and T's adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $23.1 and billion, versus $22.7 and billion; adjusted operating income was $7.7 and billion, up from $7.1 and billion; and AT and T's adjusted operating income margin was 25.1 and percent, up from 23.9 and percent. This margin expansion reflects revenue growth along with benefits from merger synergies and other productivity initiatives.

AT and T's adjusted second-quarter 2008 net income totaled $4.5 and billion, up from $4.3 and billion in the year-earlier quarter, and adjusted earnings per diluted share totaled $0.76, up from $0.70 in the second quarter of 2007.

AT and T's cash from operating activities for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $8.5 and billion, capital expenditures totaled $5.3 and billion, and free cash flow (cash from operations minus capital expenditures) totaled $3.2 and billion. Year to date through the first half of 2008, cash from operating activities totaled $13.5 and billion, capital expenditures totaled $9.6 and billion, and free cash flow totaled $3.9 and billion.

As it invests in the future of its business, AT and amp;T continues to return substantial value to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases. Dividends paid totaled $2.4 and billion in the second quarter and $4.8 and billion year to date. Shares repurchased totaled 52.6 and million for $2.0 and billion in the second quarter and 164.2 and million for $6.1 and billion through the first half of the year. AT and amp;T ended the second quarter with 5.9 and billion shares outstanding.

AT and T delivered strong wireless growth in the second quarter with solid subscriber gains, continued rapid growth in wireless data revenues and improved margins. Highlights include the following:

15.8 and Percent Wireless Revenue Growth.

Total wireless revenues increased 15.8 and percent to $12.0 and billion in the second quarter, and wireless service revenues, which exclude handset and accessory sales, grew 14.8 and percent to $11.0 and billion. Wireless revenue growth was driven by solid subscriber gains and a greater number of customers choosing more advanced smartphones and integrated devices, spurring increased usage of data services. Retail postpaid subscriber ARPU (average monthly revenues per subscriber) was up 3.5 and percent versus the year-earlier second quarter.

Wireless Data Services Up 52.0 and Percent. Wireless data revenues grew 52.0 and percent versus the year-earlier quarter to $2.5 and billion, reflecting continued strong adoption of services such as Internet and data access, e-mail and messaging. Wireless Internet access revenues more than doubled versus results for the year-earlier second quarter, while revenues from e-mail, messaging and data access all delivered greater than 50 and percent growth. Text messaging volumes tripled versus totals for the year-earlier quarter, and multimedia message volumes increased more than 170 and percent. At the end of the second quarter, approximately 18 and percent of AT and T's postpaid wireless subscribers had an integrated device, up from 8 and percent one year earlier. On average, these subscribers have ARPUs roughly double the company average. AT and T expects continued strong growth in wireless data services as more customers choose data plans and advanced wireless devices such as the new iPhone 3G, which was launched as an AT and amp;T U.S. exclusive on July 11. In the first 12 days following launch, sales of the iPhone 3G were nearly double levels achieved in AT and T's 2007 iPhone launch.

Solid Wireless Subscriber Growth with Reduced Postpaid Churn. AT and T's second-quarter net gain in total wireless subscribers exceeded 1.3 and million, down 123,000 versus results in the second quarter of 2007 and up 38,000 compared with the first quarter of this year. Retail postpaid net adds totaled 894,000, down 2.0 and percent versus the year-earlier second quarter and up 26.8 and percent from results in the first quarter of this year. This sequential postpaid improvement was achieved despite reduced iPhone sales ahead of the early July iPhone 3G launch. Retail postpaid churn moved down to 1.1 and percent in the second quarter, the lowest level in the company's history.

Wireless Operating Income Growth. On a reported basis, AT and T's second-quarter wireless operating expenses totaled $9.0 and billion, and operating income was $3.1 and billion, up 91.0 and percent from $1.6 and billion in the second quarter of 2007. Adjusting for merger integration costs, wireless operating expenses totaled $8.4 and billion, and operating income was $3.6 and billion, up 38.9 and percent from $2.6 and billion in the second quarter of 2007.

Continued Strength in Wireless Margins. Strong revenue growth, network efficiencies and operational improvements continue to drive strong wireless margins. AT and T's reported wireless operating income margin in the second quarter was 25.5 and percent, up from 15.4 and percent in the year-earlier quarter, and its adjusted wireless operating income margin was 29.9 and percent, up from 24.9 and percent in the year-earlier quarter. AT and T's second-quarter wireless OIBDA service margin was 41.2 and percent, up from an unadjusted 35.8 and percent and an adjusted 37.5 and percent in the year-earlier quarter. (OIBDA service margin is operating income before depreciation and amortization, divided by total service revenues.)

AT and T's second-quarter wireline results were highlighted by continued strong double-digit growth in business and consumer IP-based data revenues, a substantial turnaround in wholesale revenues and a further ramp in AT and T U-verse TV subscribers:

Major Turnaround in Wholesale. In the second quarter, AT and T further advanced the significant improvement in wholesale revenue trends it has achieved over the past year. Total wholesale revenues were $3.5 and billion, down just 0.2 and percent versus the year-earlier quarter. This represents a major step up from a year-over-year decline of 8.3 and percent in the second quarter of 2007 and marks the company's second consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth in this category. This reflects solid demand from wireless carriers, Internet service providers, content providers and other customers, offsetting expected declines in local voice. AT and T and IBM last fall announced an agreement that calls for AT and amp;T to become the primary global network management services provider to IBM. As a result, AT and T expects to receive up to $5 and billion of additional revenues over the five-year term of the agreement, initially in the wholesale customer category. These revenues are expected to ramp further in the second half of 2008 and in 2009.

Continued Strength in Enterprise. Over the past two years, AT and T has delivered a major turnaround in enterprise growth rates, and in the second quarter results were highlighted by an 18.4 and percent increase in enterprise IP data revenues, including areas such as VPNs, managed Internet services and hosting. Total enterprise revenues in the second quarter were $4.7 and billion, down 1.0 and percent versus results for the year-earlier quarter, and enterprise service revenues, which exclude CPE sales, were down 0.1 and percent. Enterprise fundamentals in terms of closed sales, a strong sales funnel and new service adoption remain solid. AT and T expects to deliver positive growth in total enterprise revenues for the full year 2008.

Regional Business Growth. AT and T's total regional business revenues increased 1.6 and percent in the second quarter to $3.2 and billion. Regional business data revenues grew 5.2 and percent, led by robust growth in Ethernet services and 13.7 and percent growth in IP data services, including double-digit gains in managed Internet, VPN and hosting services.

Further Ramp in AT and T U-verse TV Services. AT and T U-verse TV, the company's next-generation IP-based video service, continued its strong ramp during the second quarter, with a net subscriber gain of 170,000 to reach 549,000 in service. U-verse network deployment is on schedule, install times continue to decline and the attach rates for broadband service continue to be high. The company is on a trajectory to reach its target of more than 1 and million AT and T U-verse TV subscribers by year-end 2008.

Growth in Consumer ARPU, with Strong Double-Digit Growth in Regional Consumer IP Data Revenues. Second-quarter regional consumer results reflect continued strong growth in revenues from broadband and AT and T U-verse services in large part offsetting traditional voice access line pressures. Regional consumer IP revenues, which combine revenues from broadband and AT and T U-verse services, grew 19.3 and percent versus the year-earlier quarter, and revenues per consumer household served increased 4.2 and percent. Total regional consumer revenues were $5.6 and billion, down 2.1 and percent versus the year-earlier quarter and down 0.7 and percent sequentially. In addition to operational trends, these comparisons also reflect a change in AT and T's relationship with Yahoo! Inc., which provides portal services to AT and T's more than 14 and million wireline broadband subscribers. Under the new arrangement, AT and T no longer pays monthly portal fees and receives a reduced level of shared advertising revenues from Yahoo! Regional consumer revenue connections (retail voice, high speed Internet and video) totaled 48.4 and million at the end of the quarter, versus 49.5 and million at the end of the second quarter of 2007 and 49.3 and million at the end of the first quarter of 2008. Total consumer broadband and TV connections over the past year increased by 2.2 and million. At the end of the second quarter, AT and T had 14.7 and million total broadband connections, up 1.4 and million over the past year and up 46,000 in the second quarter of 2008.

Wireline Expense Reduction. AT and T's reported second-quarter wireline operating expenses totaled $14.5 and billion, down 2.1 and percent from results in the year-earlier quarter, and on an adjusted basis, wireline operating expenses were $14.1 and billion, down 0.1 and percent versus results for the second quarter of 2007.

AT and T's adjusted earnings for the second quarter of 2008 exclude noncash, pretax amortization costs related to acquisitions totaling $1.2 and billion, or $0.13 per diluted share. Adjusted results for the second quarter of 2007 excluded: (1) pretax cash merger-related integration costs totaling $324 and million, or $0.03 per diluted share; (2) noncash, pretax merger-related costs totaling $1.7 and billion, or $0.18 per diluted share; and (3) a merger-related directory accounting impact of $187 and million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Advertising and Publishing results for 2007 were affected by accounting adjustments following AT and T's late 2006 acquisition of BellSouth. In accordance with purchase accounting rules, deferred revenues and expenses for all BellSouth directories delivered prior to the close of the merger were eliminated from 2007 consolidated results. This elimination of amortizations reduced second-quarter 2007 consolidated revenues by $306 million and consolidated operating expenses by $119 million.

AT and T manages its print directory business using amortized results. As a result, 2007 amortized results are shown in the Advertising and Publishing segment on AT and T's Statement of Segment Income. In 2008, both consolidated and segment results reflect amortization accounting.

The following statistics reflect the business standing of the company:

-- $0.76 adjusted earnings per diluted share, up 8.6 percent from $0.70 in the second quarter of 2007 -- Consolidated operating income margin expansion to 21.3 percent reported from 16.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter and 25.1 percent adjusted versus 23.9 percent -- 15.8 percent increase in wireless revenues with wireless data revenues from areas such as Internet access, messaging and e-mail up a robust 52.0 percent -- More than 1.3 million net gain in wireless subscribers to reach 72.9 million in service; postpaid subscriber churn down to 1.1 percent, lowest level in company's history -- 16.1 percent growth in wireline IP data revenues driven by strong increases in consumer video and broadband revenues and in business services such as virtual private networks (VPNs), managed Internet services and hosting -- Significant turnaround in wholesale customer revenues, second consecutive quarter of sequential growth reflecting solid demand from wireless carriers, Internet service providers and other customers
-- Further ramp in AT and T U-verse TV subscribers, with a net subscriber gain of 170,000 to reach 549,000 in service; on trajectory to exceed 1 million subscribers in service by the end of this year

The second-quarter results were highlighted by strong wireless growth, double-digit gains in revenues from IP-based data services and further expansion of consolidated margins.

Mr. Qureshi explained, ''At Computan, we've built our reputation on excellent service and performance, which enables our clients to revolutionize their online businesses. We have a large international client base as well as development that spans the globe, so it's critical our systems are always up and running. As a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner, we implement their applications regularly, so we're deeply familiar with the platform. Managed hosting is the way of the future, particularly with the access to a dedicated team around-the-clock, advanced service level agreements, security of the data centers and one-hour hardware replacements.''

Mr. Qureshi added, ''When we spoke with the Planet Northstar team, their knowledge base was impressive. They took time to understand our business and to learn about our growth plans. In particular, our ability to have both a highly knowledgeable senior database administrator and a network administrator on our dedicated account team offered a significant extension to our company. We can focus on what we do best, which is taking care of our customers. I can leave the worry of my infrastructure to Planet Northstar.''

Steve Kahan, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at The Planet commented, ''With Planet Northstar, the dedicated team of talented and seasoned professionals are personally accountable for the customer's success. Each customer's requirements are different, which is why we employ the Anticipation Advantage Methodology to fully scope requirements based on their business goals and growth plans. As customers grow, their IT infrastructure is ready to scale, enabling them to take advantage of new business opportunities without the worry of how to accommodate the infrastructure.''

Tan Qureshi started his business in 1988, following a multi-year career with General Motors and EDS. An Ottowa native, he transferred to Ontario to manage IT infrastructure support at a local GM manufacturing operation, armed with deep experience on a broad range of hardware and software platforms, including DEC VAX, HP, Compaq, Microsoft and Novell.

Initial work in his newly created company focused almost exclusively on Novell platforms. Over time it became clear to Qureshi that Microsoft applications would ultimately be most valued and required by his core customers.

As an avid sports enthusiast, Mr. Qureshi first built his business on managing IT requirements for tennis and soccer teams, whose broad needs were ripe for his development organization. Managing these teams requires extensive databases and scheduling, which were a perfect beginning for the newly formed company. Today his work spans the globe, with around-the-clock development that follows the sun’s path. The work, he notes, never ends, which contributes to Computan’s success.

Ultimately, The Planet's goal is to provide:

• High levels of network capacity and speed to deliver peak performance
• Instant scalability to handle even the largest spikes in network traffic
• Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture to assure reliability and stability
• Multiple layer network security that prevents Delayed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks from harming businesses
• Knowledgeable experts with a passion for excellence and a commitment to operate the best networks in the business
