What does AT&T's usage-based pricing adoption mean for Verizon?
AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) confirmed Thursday that it now counts 15 million subscribers using usage-based data pricing. That's up from 7 million subscribers on such plans in December 2010, and 10 million in March. The plans were first introduced in June 2010.
What does this growth trend mean for Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ), which began offering usage-based data pricing to new smartphone customers July 7? First, AT&T executives have repeatedly said that the new plans have encouraged customers to switch from a feature or quick messaging phone to a smartphone. AT&T said that in the second quarter 70 percent of its postpaid sales were smartphones and 50 percent of its 68.4 million postpaid subscribers now use smartphones. Clearly, the strategy of getting more customers to switch to smartphones is working for AT&T. AT&T offers 200 MB for $15 and 2 GB for $25. The $15 plan, coupled with a $49.99 Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 3GS with a two-year contract, likely helped grease the usage-based numbers for AT&T--Current Analysis analyst William Ho called the offering AT&T's "secret sauce." What also likely helped was AT&T's decision to broaden its smartphone portfolio to include more smartphones running Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Phone 7 and Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry to counteract the loss of its iPhone exclusivity to Verizon. Further, AT&T's entry tier--$15 for 200 MB--allows customers to test the waters without significant investment. What does all of this mean for Verizon? Recon Analytics analyst (and FierceWireless contributor) Roger Entner said he expects the usage-based pricing adoption trajectory at Verizon to follow the same path, just more slowly, "because there is no incentive whatsoever for someone to go from a $30 unlimited [plan] to 2 GB for $30." (New Verizon smartphone customers can choose from one of three options: $30 for 2 GB, $50 for 5 GB or $80 for 10 GB. Existing customers with the $30 unlimited smartphone data plans can keep those plans.) Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney said Verizon decided to forgo a 200 MB/$15 plan for a specific reason. "The plans were chosen based upon the usage patterns of our customers and we felt like those would the best ones to meet our customers' needs," she said. Ho said he also expects Verizon to sell metered plans slowly because the carrier does not have an entry-level 200 MB plan to lure in new smartphone customers. However, analysts generally expect smartphone users to use more than 200 MB per month--particularly those on faster LTE networks. In long run, Verizon will likely use its pricing structure to its advantage and bring in more revenue as average usage creeps up past 2 GB, and customers opt for higher usage tiers. Verizon's plans could also bring the carrier more revenue if it encourages customers to go for the higher-priced tiers with family data plans that allow subscribers to share a bucket of data between multiple devices. Verizon has indicated it plans to go this way, but had not said when it will do so. AT&T still hasn't revealed its LTE pricing. It's likely it will mimic Verizon's pricing, but AT&T has an opportunity to differentiate itself from its closest competitor. Indeed, there have been rumors that AT&T will offer customers the opportunity to add more data to their bucket or boost their speed for an additional fee during a billing cycle. Such add-ons might give AT&T a leg up in the usage-based pricing battle, despite trailing Verizon significantly in LTE coverage. However, for right now, AT&T's usage-based pricing will probably win it more converts than Verizon, especially because of the entry-level tier. "From a growth curve standpoint, AT&T, with a lower price point for smartphone plans, is in a better position in converting the base," to smartphones, Ho said. How long that advantage lasts will likely be determined by what AT&T decides to do with its LTE pricing. --Phil Read more about: Verizon Wireless, mobile data, Smartphones, LTE

* General ad info: Click here | Today's Top News 1. Verizon notches 2.3M iPhone activations, 1.2M LTE device sales in Q2
Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) experienced strong growth from sales of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4 and its LTE devices in the second quarter, continuing trends that started in the first quarter.  | | Click here for key figures from Verizon's second quarter results. | Verizon activated 2.3 million iPhones in the second quarter, slightly above the 2.2 million it activated in the first quarter--Verizon started selling the iPhone in February, well into the first quarter. Verizon rival AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) activated 3.6 million iPhones in both the first and second quarter (AT&T also sells the older and less expensive iPhone 3GS). In a separate move that has been expected for months, Lowell McAdam was named CEO of Verizon Communications, the majority owner of Verizon Wireless, replacing Ivan Seidenberg, who will remain chairman. McAdam is stepping up from the COO role and has been Seidenberg's heir apparent for some time now. McAdam will become CEO effective August 1. He was previously CEO of Verizon Wireless. During the carrier's quarterly conference call with analysts, McAdam touched on the carrier's new usage-based smartphone data pricing, which was introduced July 7. He said that moving to such pricing was "like gravity" and was inevitable because of spectrum constraints. And while he said Verizon expects to see some churn as a result of the pricing changes, which only affect new smartphone customers, he said currently around 95 percent of Verizon's smartphone subscriber base uses less than 2 GB of data per month. Verizon charges $30 per month for 2 GB. Here is a breakdown of Verizon's key metrics for the quarter: LTE: Verizon said its LTE network is now live in 102 markets, and the company will expand to 175 markets covering 185 million POPs by year-end. The company sold 1.2 million LTE devices in the quarter, up from 500,000 in the first quarter, and introduced three new LTE devices: the Samsung Droid Charge, LG Revolution and the MiFi 4510L LTE Mobile Hotspot by Novatel Wireless. On the company's earnings conference call with analysts, Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo said that 69 percent of Verizon's net retail postpaid additions in the quarter were from LTE devices or the iPhone. Smartphones: The carrier said that 36 percent of its postpaid subscriber base are now smartphone customers, up from 32 percent in the first quarter and 21 percent in the year-ago period. Verizon said 63 percent of its smartphone sales in the quarter were to customers new to the smartphone category. McAdam said the carrier is about a quarter behind pace on smartphone adoption based on its expectations from January."We expected an iPhone refresh this summer. We expect it will probably be sometime in the fall, and I think you'll see a significant jump there when we get to that point," he said. "Our fourth-quarter lineup is going to be very robust. I think we're going to have, probably in my entire career, the best fourth-quarter" device lineup, he said. "Verizon is not taking the share of the smartphone category that we thought they would," wrote Jonathan Chaplin of Credit Suisse in a note on the carrier's earnings. "Smartphones accounted for 70 percent of sales at AT&T compared to 60 percent at Verizon. AT&T sold 3.6 million iPhones compared to 2.3 million at Verizon." However, Technology Business Research analyst Ken Hyers offered a different take. "AT&T added more iPhone subscribers in 2Q11--3.6 million, compared to Verizon's 2.3 million. But Verizon also sold 1.4 million 4G LTE smartphones and recorded 2.2 million net subscriber additions for the quarter, raising its entire wireless subscriber base to 106.3 million, while AT&T added 1.1 million customers in 2Q11, bringing it to 98.6 million subscribers. In the race to add customers, Verizon clearly demonstrated that size, a 4G network, plus savvy marketing, really does matter." Subscribers: Verizon notched 2.2 million total net subscriber additions, including 1.3 million retail postpaid customers, its highest since the fourth quarter of 2008, and up from 461,000 retail postpaid additions in the year-ago period. The carrier also added 890,000 wholesale and other connections. These additions exclude acquisitions and adjustments. At the end of the second quarter, Verizon had 106.3 million total connections, an increase of 6.6 percent year-over-year, including 89.7 million retail customers and 16.6 million wholesale and other connections. Verizon said that 9 percent of its retail postpaid subscriber base upgraded their phone in the second quarter. ARPU: The carrier's retail postpaid average revenue per user grew 1.9 percent, or $1, from the year-ago quarter to $54.12. Retail postpaid data ARPU increased to $21.26, up 15.2 percent year-over-year. Retail service ARPU also grew 1.9 percent, to $52.49. Churn: Verizon's retail postpaid churn was 0.89 percent, the company's lowest since second-quarter 2008. Total retail churn was 1.22 percent. Financials: The company's wireless service revenues in the quarter clocked in at $14.7 billion, up 6.6 percent year-over-year. Data revenues totaled $5.8 billion, up $1.1 billion, or 22.2 percent, from the year-ago period, and represented 39.5 percent of all service revenues. Total revenues were $17.3 billion, up 10.2 percent from the year-ago quarter. The carrier's EBTIDA margin was 45.4 percent. For more:

2. Activist investor Icahn wants Motorola to monetize its patent portfolio
Motorola Mobility (NYSE:MMI) should explore options for monetizing its vast patent portfolio, according to billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn, adding more ferment to the speculation over wireless and technology patents. Icahn, who owns 11.36 percent of Motorola's shares and is the company's largest single shareholder, said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that he met with Motorola this week. In the filing, he noted that Motorola's patent portfolio is "substantially larger" than Nortel Networks' portfolio, which was sold in a bankruptcy auction earlier this month to a consortium of companies for $4.5 billion. In a series of interviews, Icahn sought to both explain his position and seemingly ratchet up pressure on Motorola to do something to monetize its patent assets. He told the Wall Street Journal that the company is actually worth $13 billion, significantly more than its $7.5 billion market value. He said that Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha and the board should not be solely focused on the company's operating businesses, handset and set-top boxes. Icahn told the Journal that one option would be spinning off the handset and set-top box units as an operating company, and licensing the patents to it free. Alternatively, he said, Motorola could sell the patent portfolio and license back to the operating company the patents it needs. The investor sounded similar themes in an interview with Reuters. "In any event we shouldn't let the tail wag the dog," Icahn said. "The patent portfolio may be the company's most valuable asset." Motorola said in a statement provided to news outlets that its board and management team continuously review its "strategic direction and opportunities that it believes are in the best interests of the company and all of its shareholders." Speculation around patents increased this week after wireless technology and licensing firm InterDigital said it may sell off some of its patents or sell the entire company. Both Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are reportedly interested in InterDigital. Apple was a major player in the Nortel consortium. For more:

3. HP's Bradley: Amazon's Kindle was a big driver behind Palm acquisition
ASPEN, Colo.--Hewlett-Packard was carefully watching Amazon.com's success with its Kindle e-reader, and that success played a role in HP's decision to acquire Palm and its webOS software platform for $1.2 billion in April 2010. "Kindle was a big driver for us to look at webOS," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of the Personal Systems Group at Hewlett Packard, during a panel discussion at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference here.  | | From left: Frank Meehan, founder and CEO of INQ Mobile; Stephen Hoover, CEO of PARC, a Xerox company; George Colony, founder, chairman and CEO of Forrester Research; Todd Bradley, executive vice president of the Personal Systems Group at Hewlett Packard; and moderator Geoff Colvin of Fortune. | Bradley's comments about Amazon are particularly interesting since Amazon has recently been named as a potential partner for licensing the webOS software. Just last week, Jon Rubinstein, who had been heading up HP's webOS efforts but is now in charge of product innovation at HP's Personal Systems Group, touched on negotiations HP is holding over licensing webOS, and said Amazon.com might make a useful partner. "I would say Amazon would certainly make a great partner, because they have a lot of characteristics that would help them expand the webOS ecosystem," he told the blog This is my next. "As to whether there's been discussions or not...that's obviously not something I'm going to comment about." At the Fortune event, Bradley also said that he believes that tablets will be an "important supplement to what people already have," adding that these devices are intended for consuming data. HP launched its TouchPad webOS tablet earlier this month, but is positioning it as an enterprise-friendly device that will compete more heavily with Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) PlayBook than with Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad. However, Forrester Research Founder, Chairman and CEO George Colony said he is much more bullish on the tablet market and believes it will be much more than a supplemental device. Colony noted that his company believes that one-third of the U.S. population will own a tablet by 2014. Related Articles:

4. Apple paid $2.6B of $4.5B Nortel patent bounty
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) paid $2.6 billion for its portion of Nortel Networks' patent portfolio of more than 6,000 patents, according to a filing Apple made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The portfolio was sold in a bankruptcy auction to a consortium of six companies for $4.5 billion. Apple made the disclosure in its quarterly 10-Q filing with the SEC, and noted that the purchase is subject to regulatory approval. The company did not disclose any details beyond the price. While the sum is substantial, it is still relatively small compared to the $76.2 billion cash hoard Apple has amassed as of the end of the second quarter. The winning coalition included Apple, EMC Corp., Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) and Sony. RIM said it will pay $770 million for its share of the patents, and Ericsson said it will pay $340 million for its share. That leaves $790 million between EMC, Microsoft and Sony. Nortel's patents cover a wide range of technologies, including wireless video, Wi-Fi, social networking, semiconductors and, most notably, LTE . In other patent news, Apple is reportedly interested in bidding for wireless technology and licensing firm InterDigital, according to Bloomberg. Reports have indicated Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is negotiating with InterDigital, which said this week it is exploring strategic options, including a possible sale. Google was the "stalking horse" opening bidder in the Nortel auction, but ultimately lost out. InterDigital develops and licenses circuitry designs, software and wireless technologies. InterDigital's stock has a market value of $1.95 billion, and the firm holds about 8,800 patents and has about 10,000 patent applications in process around the world. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, InterDigital is looking for a price that not only reflects the value of its patents, but the long-term recurring revenue from licensing those patents.

5. GSMA picks Barcelona to host Mobile World Congress through 2018
The GSMA selected Barcelona, Spain, as the host city for the Mobile World Congress trade show through 2018, ensuring that the Catalonian hotspot will remain the mecca for the industry's largest trade show for years to come.  | | Barcelona will continue to host the Mobile World Congress trade show. | Barcelona beat out finalists Milan, Munich and Paris for the host spot, and the GSMA said that besides hosting the conference, the city will also develop a range of other programs and activities that will span the entire year. "We are thrilled to announce that Barcelona will be the Mobile World Capital for the next seven years," GSMA CEO John Hoffman said in a statement. "All of the cities who competed for this title presented extremely innovative and compelling bids, but in the end, Barcelona truly demonstrated that it deserves the title of the Mobile World Capital, with its combination of outstanding exhibition and conference facilities, its transportation and hospitality infrastructure, its commitment to expanding the reach of mobility throughout Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain, and the strong support of the public and private sectors. This is an exciting time for Barcelona and for the mobile industry as a whole." In a statement, the GSMA said the selection was based on many criteria and took into consideration all aspects of what the host cities can offer. The GSMA said the 18-month process started with 30 cities. In August 2010, the trade group narrowed it down to six--Amsterdam, Barcelona, Cologne, Milan, Munich and Paris--before whittling it down to four cities. The trade show has been held in Barcelona since 2006, when it was still called 3GSM World Congress. Before that, the show, which regularly draws close to 50,000 attendees, was held in Cannes. The show remains a hotspot for wireless players all over the world, particularly those based in Europe. In recent years, the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States has taken on greater prominence in the pantheon of wireless trade shows. For more:
