iPad News: AT&T Claims 500,000 iPad Owners

If you have an iPad and want to use the 3G data service, you use AT&T. You have no choice since it’s the exclusive carrier for iPhone and iPad—for now, anyway. AT&T chief executive Randall Stephenson touted his company’s service in a speech to financial analysts at Tuesday’s Goldman Sachs Communacopia XIX Conference.
“We have over half a million iPads connected to the network, and you’re going to see a stream of new tablets come to market from a number of carriers. That’s a whole new growth prospect for this industry that is really just in its infancy as well. We’re at the really early stages of this connected device phenomenon. It’s a very nice business model.”
Yes, being the only game in town usually is, but if only a half million iPad users out of several million are hooked up to AT&T, that leaves a lot of folks choosing to go Wi-Fi. I have to wonder how many potential iPad buyers look at the difference in price for a 3G model, then add in the $15 or $25 per month to AT&T and decide the Wi-Fi model looks better all the time. AT&T will be losing that monopoly on Apple products in the near future, and should plan on making its service more competitive as it goes head-to-head with rival carriers.
