AT&T continued its growth during the first quarter of 2008, reporting over 1 million customer additions, which pushed the company’s revenue to 17 percent.

For the first quarter, AT&T said it added 1.295 million customers, an 8.7% increase compared to the 1.191 million customers it added during 2007 first quarter. This new number made AT&T’s customer base to 71.3 million to date.
Analyst Tom Watts stressed the continued strong sales of the iPhone and the weakening sales at Sprint Nextel Corp were the two main factors that helped AT&T’s growth this quarter. AT&T CFO Rick Lindner also stressed in a conference call with Watts that the carrier was seeing the most port-ins from Sprint Nextel.
