Verizon Battles AT&T for M2M Supremacy.

"Verizon reported it added 251,000 other connections in the quarter, raising its total of connected devices to 7.9 million Updated: (that number does not include laptops with integrated modems). AT&T, meanwhile, added 1.16 million new connected devices, bringing its total to 7.8 million. AT&T said this morning that when you count embedded devices including laptops and netbooks, its total is 8.5 million. This is still a far cry from traditional consumer subscriber numbers but this is where the real growth lies for carriers both because of saturation and because of the economics of carrying data on cellular networks."
