AT&T talks about iPhone Content Research

A top AT&T executive in a keynote speech at the Future TV show Tuesday revealed findings from an internal survey of iPhone users that supports the company’s three-iPhone" href="http://iphonenews.desinformado.com/2008/07/palringo-brings-first-rich-messaging-service-to-the-iphone/">screen IPTV strategy by suggesting that owners of the mobile devices are using them for far more than just local and long-distance voice calls.
The service provider has maintained from the outset that its strategy is to provide compelling content via landlines to TVs and PCs, as well as to mobile devices – such as iPhones – connected to the operator’s vast wireless network.
“Traditional TV is not going away,” emphasized Amy Friedlander-Hoffman, senior vice-president of programming at AT&T, which expects to have one million customers of its U-verse IPTV service. “It’s just evolving.”
AT&T is the exclusive carrier of Apple’s popular iPhone in the United States.
Hoffman said the survey revealed that iPhone users have ended up using twice the amount of Internet data as the company originally intended., though she did not disclose the corresponding figures. More than 50 percent of those surveyed said they had watched a video from YouTube, the widely used user-generated video destination.
