Verizon Wireless, the wireless carrier whose stores began offering the iPhone today, may sell 2 million or more of the devices this quarter and draw subscribers from AT&T Inc., analysts said.
Verizon, which is ending Dallas-based AT&T’s monopoly on the Apple Inc. phone in the U.S., started sales at 7 a.m. New York time. While online sales to existing Verizon users Feb. 3 ended within hours as the company exhausted its stock, there were few lines at stores that began selling the device today.
