The Top Ten Wireless Carriers of 2007

Here's an interesting list on the top ten wireless networks of 2007. These ratings were made based on the subscriber numbers at the end of 2007. The figures were taken from the company reports and quarterly statements made by these national and regional licensed wireless carriers.

Top Ten U.S. Wireless Service Providers

1. AT&T

2. Verizon

3. Sprint Nextel

4. T-Mobile

5. Alltel

6. U.S. Cellular

7. MetroPCS

8. Leap Wireless

9. Centennial

10. Rural Cellular

The rankings show that AT&T Mobility remains as the top wireless network in the mobile phone industry. With just over 70 million subscribers, it's the clear winner when it comes to the number of customers. A big part of AT&T's success is probably due to their exclusive right to sell the iPhone.

The number two spot has been secured by Verizon Wireless. This wireless network closed the year with more than 65 million customers. However, it took the number one spot in terms of total revenues for the year. The mobile phone service provider will probably increase it customer base as it has recently completed its acquisition of number ten. carrier, Rural Cellular Corp.

Sprint Nextel Corp. remains rooted in the third spot despite being plagued by problems. However, the wireless network will have difficulty in closing in to it's bigger rivals. T-Mobile USA is at the number four spot. The carrier's recent acquisition of SunCom Wireless Holdings Inc., will increase it's customers by a significant number this year.
