Some analysts believe that, AT & T to increase the bandwidth is still not enough. Securities analyst Charter Equity Research analyst Edward Snyder (Edward Snyder) said, “AT & T’s network does not solve the problem. When the CDMA version of iPhone is listed, a large number of AT & T customers will leave.” AT & T have been argued that it would invest 2 billion U.S. dollars this year for the expansion of wireless networks. The company also said that the iPhone mobile phone, the company can provide better service than other competitors.
AT & T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan (John Donovan) that “in dealing with traffic issues, no other company was AT & T to do better. The company has improved the city’s network, and will continue in the coming months improve the network in these markets. “For example, AT & T has adjusted some of the base stations in order to better to the building where the iPhone users. The competitors only in the extensive use of smart phone by the user only after the network began to adjust.

Apple finally meet the requirements of AT & T, and the iPhone, have been adjusted.
