REPRINT © CHICAGO TRIBUNE 2006 PAGE 1, BUSINESS SECTION

Reviving the past Famous brands that were abandoned by their owners years ago are being updated by a Chicago firm bent on proving they still have potential for profit

By John Schmeltzer Chicago Tribune staff reporter May 2, 2006

Paul Earle Jr. had a feeling Gen-X hearts would flutter when Colecovision game systems reappeared last year in thousands of stores.

And why wouldn't they? After all, many of today's 30- and 40-year-olds played Coleco Head-to-Head or Colecovision, the father of today's Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox systems, while growing up in the 1980s.

Coleco's successful relaunch last fall was the latest in a series of famous, and not so famous, brands that have been rescued from the scrap heap by River West Brands, a Chicago-based firm that has found a unique niche--restoring the luster to brands no one wants anymore.

But Earle, founder and president of River West, doesn't want his firm typecast as a company living on past successes, despite its own success with Coleco.

"We really don't see ourselves as a nostalgia company," he said. "We can only target the heartstrings for only so long. That is not a sustainable business model."

Instead, River West works to develop the appropriate, up-to-date product for a relaunch to be successful.

"We can't just put the same product in the box and expect it will succeed," he said.

For a variety of reasons, companies occasionally cast adrift brands that are experiencing shrinking sales, heated competition or new developments. Though officially considered dormant when they have not recorded any sales for at least three years, that doesn't mean they cannot be revived and again enjoy hearty sales.

River West secures the rights to brands that have potential, then seeks out partners to manufacture, sell and distribute the products. It assists with marketing and makes money on royalties from the sales.

White Cloud was the No. 7 toilet paper in the U.S. when Procter & Gamble abandoned it in 1993, choosing to focus its efforts on Charmin, the nation's largest-selling toilet paper. Six years later Wal- Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, with the help of a Florida company, turned White Cloud into its house brand of toilet paper and diapers. That has allowed it to dump P&G's Pampers.

That effort served as an inspiration for Earle, who quit the security of a 9-to-5 marketing job at Kraft Foods Inc., to begin his search for brands into which he could breathe new life.

None have been a blockbuster like White Cloud, but he has turned what others treated as a sideline into a full-time business with 10 employees.

And there is no shortage of work.

Among the brands River West has relaunched since its founding four years ago are Nuprin, originally a brand of ibuprofen introduced by Bristol-Myers and now a full-line pain medication available only at CVS drugstores. The company has also launched snack drink Metrecal, the forerunner of SlimFast, as well as Soho soda, a popular East Coast soda line being marketed by Arizona Beverage Co., and Silkience Shampoo, now re-entering the market as a hotel-distributed hair-care product.

River West also helped Sears, Roebuck and Co. bring back Structure, a men's clothing brand abandoned in the 1990s by Columbus, Ohio-based Limited Brands Inc. And it is working to relaunch Underalls, formerly a hosiery line sold by Hanes Apparel, a division of Sara Lee Corp., and Bonwit Teller, a department store and clothing brand that died in the late 1980s.

The hardest work is assembling the intellectual property for a dormant brand, according to Earle, who said River West spent three years searching for the rights to the Coleco name, its Internet address and the various copyrights it used in production of game stations.

"We found the Web site address being held by a guy in Hong Kong," he said, noting River West prefers to obtain a license to use a brand from the owner.

Sales of products it has developed totaled about $50 million in 2005. Rather than a piece of the sales, River West collects a royalty or fee from the manufacturer. It would not disclose how much it received in royalties.

As with other manufacturers, marketing the brands is key to the success.

That's where St. Louis-based Aurora Foods Inc., manufacturer of Duncan Hines baking mixes, Celeste frozen pizza and Log Cabin syrup, and Redox Brands, which attempted to revive Oxydol detergent, tripped up.

Both firms got into advertising wars with the likes of P&G and General Mills Inc. Redox was acquired this year by a Canadian consumer product company; Aurora Foods filed for bankruptcy in 2003 and was acquired in 2004 by Pinnacle Foods Corp.

"We're not so foolish that we believe we can outspend Procter & Gamble on the airwaves," Earle said. "That is not going to happen, so why bother thinking about it?

"So we always are looking for advantages elsewhere, whether it is the manufacturer or the retailer or someone else. We're always aligned with somebody that has a certain expertise or clout," he said, noting that the firm has rights to about 30 other brands it hopes to redevelop.

Despite Earle's aversion to being cast as a company trying to revive the past, Terry Kearney, a marketing professor at Chicago State University, said nostalgia definitely plays a role in whether a revival can be successful.

Kearney said Earle is tapping into the emotions of the Baby Boomer generation, the first generation that grew up "assuming there were national brands for everything."

Rather than developing a traditional manufacturing company, River West has created a marketing company similar to Nike Inc., Kearney said.

"Nike doesn't own a single shoe factory. They own the brands," he said. Like Nike, River West doesn't own any plants or equipment or have any distributor and supplier contracts.

But it isn't just fun and games for the River West group.

"The way to keep a brand relevant is innovate behind it. You have to make something unique and compelling," Earle said, adding that the need doesn't stop when the product hits stores' shelves.

Right now his team is focused on developing the games that will be offered this year for Coleco and the new launch of Underalls, one of 10 brands the firm plans to launch in 2006 and 2007.

"We're really looking forward to this fall," he said.

EXHIBIT 19 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM AT&T Mobility From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AT&T Mobility, formerly known as Cingular Wireless, is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T that provides AT&T Mobility wireless services to 121.8 million subscribers in the United States,[1] including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. AT&T Mobility is the second largest wireless telecommunications provider in the United States and Puerto Rico behind Verizon. AT&T Mobility is headquartered in the Lenox Park area of DeKalb Co. Georgia, just outside Atlanta.[2]

Originally known as Cingular Wireless from 2000 to Mobilizing your world 2007, a joint venture between SBC Communications and Type Subsidiary BellSouth, the company acquired the old AT&T Wireless Industry Wireless telecommunications in 2004; SBC later acquired the original AT&T.

Among the services that AT&T aggressively promotes is its Rollover Minutes service, which allows customers to keep unused minutes from month to month on a twelve-month rolling cycle on its popular nationwide plans. Beginning in July 2007, AT&T allows its AT&T Unity plan users to have Rollover, a service which was exclusive to the Nation plans. AT&T also launched video share in 2007, in which a mobile caller can stream live video from one phone to another over the 3G network with video share capable phones. This allows one mobile phone user to view video from another user's camera through the mobile phone in real time. AT&T also had A- list, similar to former competitor Alltel's program launched on April 20, 2006 branded "My Circle." AT&T rolled out the A-list program on September 20, 2009. Customers with individual Nation plans of $59.99 or higher could use A-List with Rollover to select up to five domestic phone numbers to call anytime—including landlines and wireless numbers on any network—without using any of the minutes in their plan. FamilyTalk customers with plans of $89.99 or more could select up to ten numbers which any person in the FamilyTalk plan can call as much as they want.[6] Effective September 1, 2011, the A-List feature is no longer available to new consumer and IRU customers. Existing customers who had A-List on their account prior to September 1, 2011, are able to keep the feature as long as they stay on a qualifying rate plan. As of October 25, 2013 AT&T no longer offers Nation Plans or Family Talk Plans to its new customers. New customers are now required to have one of AT&T Mobile Share Value plans which include unlimited Talk, Text and a shareable bucket of data start at $45 for a smartphone.

Employees

A large number of AT&T Mobility employees are unionized, belonging to the Communications Workers of America. The CWA represented roughly 15,000 of the previous 20,000 formerly AT&T Wireless employees as of early 2006.[7] As of the end of 2009, the CWA website claims roughly 40,000 workers of AT&T Mobility are represented by the union.[8]

History AT&T Mobility headquarters (and other AT&T departments) in Lenox Cingular Wireless Park adjacent to Atlanta

Cingular Wireless was founded in 2000 as a joint venture of SBC Communications and BellSouth. The joint venture created the nation's second-largest carrier. Cingular grew out of a conglomeration of more than 100 companies,[9] with 12 well-known regional companies with Cingular Wireless logo, 2000–2004 Bell roots. The 12 companies included:

Three companies spun off from Advanced Mobile Phone Service Ameritech Mobile Communications BellSouth Mobility Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems BellSouth Mobility DCS BellSouth Wireless Data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 3 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

CCPR Services d/b/a Cellular One of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands Pacific Bell Wireless Pacific Bell Wireless Northwest SBC Wireless SNET Mobility Southwestern Bell Wireless

SBC Wireless had previously operated in several northeast markets under the "Cellular One" brand, while BellSouth's wireless operations incorporated the former Houston Cellular.

Cingular's lineage can be traced back to Advanced Mobile Phone Service, which was a subsidiary of AT&T created in 1978 to provide cellular service nationwide. AMPS was divided among the Regional Bell Operating Companies as part of the Bell System divestiture.

With the exception of Pacific Bell and BellSouth Mobility DCS, the digital network consisted of D-AMPS technology. The Pacific Bell and BellSouth Mobility DCS networks used GSM technology on the PCS frequency band (1900 MHz).

In October 2007, AT&T’s president and chief executive officer Stan Sigman announced his retirement. Ralph de la Vega, group president-Regional Telecom & Entertainment, was named as president and CEO, AT&T Mobility.[10]

AT&T Wireless merger

In February 2004, after a bidding war with Britain's Vodafone Plc (at the time a part-owner of Verizon Wireless) Cingular announced that it would purchase its struggling competitor, AT&T Wireless Services, for $41 billion. This was more than twice the company's trading value.

The merger was completed on October 26, 2004. The combined company had a customer base of 46 million people at the time, making Cingular the largest wireless provider in the United States. AT&T Wireless was then legally renamed New Cingular Wireless Services.[11] Shortly after, new commercials were shown with the "AT&T" transforming into the Cingular AT&T Wireless logo logo, and with the Cingular logo's text turned blue to acknowledge the change. Some of the companies that comprised Cingular, such as BellSouth Mobility, ceased to exist when they were legally merged into the operating company subsidiary AT&T Wireless PCS, which was New Cingular Cingular Wireless logo, 2004– Wireless PCS.[12] 2007 First announced on June 22, 2005, Cingular Wireless announced the intention to divest its Caribbean and Bermuda operations and licenses which it acquired from the acquisition of AT&T Wireless, to Irish-owned and Jamaica-based Digicel Group under undisclosed financial terms.[13][14][15][16]

In 2006, one year following the deal, a high-ranking source allegedly close to the sale pointed the Barbados Daily Nation Newspaper towards some SEC filings made by Cingular which were said to establish an idea of the approximate sale price of the deal. According to the SEC filings Cingular was paid around $122 million, with much of that cost going towards the purchase of the former AT&T Wireless assets in Barbados by Digicel.

At the time of the merger, there were two networks: the historic AT&T Blue Network and the Cingular Orange Network. Both networks contained a mix of both TDMA and GSM facilities. Approximately 50,000 cell sites had to be melded together. From a technical standpoint, the "blue" and "orange" networks were considered different networks until integration was completed in 2005.[17] Enhanced Network Selection (ENS) was used to home cellular devices on either the "blue" or "orange" network during this process.

"Cingular is now The New AT&T"

On November 21, 2005, Ed Whitacre, then CEO of the newly merged SBC/AT&T, announced plans to market Cingular's service under the AT&T brand. BellSouth spokesman Jeff Battcher countered that the terms of the joint venture allow either party to sell the service under another name, and that he believes they will be using the brand to market to business customers.[18] Cingular president Stan Sigman concurred with BellSouth's position, indicating that the Cingular brand would continue but be sold under the AT&T brand where offered in packages with other AT&T services, such as data and wireline telephony.

However, AT&T announced on March 5, 2006 that it would acquire BellSouth.[19] The acquisition was finalized on December 29, 2006 when the FCC gave its final approval. According to AT&T, the company began the rebranding of Cingular Wireless to "AT&T".[20]

On January 12, 2007 AT&T announced[21] a major rebranding transition campaign to transition Cingular to the new AT&T (in February 2009 "new" was removed). The former Cingular stores, after being rebranded to AT&T, sold all AT&T products and services: wireless, landline, Internet, U-Verse, and more.

Cingular to AT&T rebranding transition

On January 14, 2007, AT&T launched the transition of the Cingular brand to AT&T in television advertising and customer communications, by creating the "Cingular is now The New AT&T" logo. On April 15, 2007, AT&T Mobility began to introduce new AT&T branded mobile phones and devices. The alpha tag (portion of phone's screen which displays the name of the network on which the phone is connected) on new phone activations also started reading "AT&T". Around May 11, 2007, Cingular's name was replaced with "AT&T" in most advertisements. On May 19, 2007, the AT&T logo replaced the Cingular logo on the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series car it sponsors, owned by Richard Childress Racing and driven by Jeff Burton; however, it was soon removed. On May 24, 2007, Palm, Inc. issued an update for Cingular-branded Treo 680 smartphones that, among other things, updated the phone's branding (startup and shutdown screens, wallpaper backgrounds) from Cingular to AT&T.[22] As of May 31, 2007, the former cingular.com (http://www.cingular.com) website redirects to wireless.att.com (http://wireless.att.com) and no longer features any Cingular logos whatsoever. In June 2007, customer service phone lines started being answered "Thank you for calling The New

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 5 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

AT&T, about your wireless service." Additionally, all new SIM cards are branded with the AT&T logo. By June 16, 2007, most of the phones on the company's network displayed AT&T as the carrier instead of Cingular. By early 2009, AT&T had dropped "The New" part of its brand from all advertising and communications. Customer service phone lines are answered "Thank you for calling AT&T." As of December 2013, www.cingular.com (http://www.cingular.com) can still be used to access AT&T's wireless shop website. Although AT&T let the Cingular federal trademark lapse as of June 2013 they still own a trademark for Cingular Sounds. The domain CingularSounds.com also rolls over to an AT&T webpage. On May 16, 2014, the Cingular Sounds trademark was cancelled by the USPTO when AT&T did not file a Section 8 declaration of use.

Acquisition of Dobson Communications

On November 15, 2007, AT&T completed its acquisition of Dobson Communications. Dobson marketed the Cellular One brand in rural and suburban locations in various areas of the United States, including Alaska. AT&T bought Dobson for $13 per share, as well as assuming the regional Dobson Cellular Logo carrier's debt, which cost the carrier about $5.1 billion total. The U.S. Justice Department had ordered AT&T to sell assets in five U.S. states to complete its $2.8 billion Dobson Communications Corp. takeover. The department ordered AT&T to divest certain cell-phone assets in Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Texas where AT&T and Dobson are most competitive. At the time, AT&T was Cellular One logo used by the largest U.S. cell-phone provider, with more than 81 million subscribers in 50 Dobson until acquisition states. Dobson's Cellular One was the ninth largest, with 1.7 million subscribers in by AT&T in November 17 states. Dobson had been an AT&T roaming partner since 1990, and the 2007 acquisition is expected to bring growth to Dobson's current markets. The purchase allowed AT&T to operate in the more rural areas of the United States including Alaska and West Virginia.[23]

Acquisition of Centennial Communications

On November 7, 2008, AT&T announced its plans to acquire Centennial Wireless for $944 million. AT&T said that the acquisition would provide customers with better coverage in the Southeast, Midwest, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The deal will also give AT&T more highly coveted 850 MHz spectrum in the current Centennial Wireless coverage area. In addition, Centennial also provides switched voice and high-capacity data and Internet Protocol solutions for business customers in Puerto Rico. The transaction will give AT&T a wired network presence in Puerto Rico and will allow the company to better serve its multinational business customers with a presence in this United States territory. AT&T will gain Centennial's 893,000 subscribers after divestiture requirements. The deal was finalized on November 6, 2009.[24]

Failed acquisition of T-Mobile USA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 6 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

On March 20, 2011, AT&T and Deutsche Telekom announced that AT&T had agreed to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a deal estimated to be worth $39 billion in cash and stock. AT&T said the deal was expected to close in 12 months and was subject to regulatory approval. As of June 2011, it was being examined by the FCC.[25] On August 31, 2011, the United States Department of Justice formally announced that it had filed a lawsuit to block the merger.[26] On November 22, 2011, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski recommended sending AT&T's proposed T-Mobile acquisition to an administrative law judge for review and a hearing.[27] On November 23, 2011 AT&T withdrew its application with the FCC regarding the acquisition of T- Mobile USA. They also indicated that they would recognize a $4 Billion dollar accounting charge in the event of a deal collapse. That charge covers a $3 Billion cash breakup fee and $1 Billion as the market value for the spectrum they were required to transfer to T-Mobile if the deal failed to complete.[28]

Acquisition of NextWave Wireless

On August 2, 2012, AT&T and NextWave Wireless announced an agreement for AT&T to acquire NextWave Wireless. NextWave holds licenses in the Wireless Communication Services (WCS) and Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) bands.

The acquisition closed on January 24, 2013.

Acquisition of Alltel brand from Atlantic Tele-Network

On January 22, 2013, AT&T announced that it had signed an agreement with Atlantic Tele-Network to acquire the company’s U.S. retail wireless operations, operated under the Alltel brand, for $780 million in cash. Under terms of the agreement, AT&T will acquire wireless properties, including licenses, network assets, retail stores and approximately 585,000 subscribers. The transaction closed on September 20, 2013.

Acquisition of Leap Wireless

On March 13, 2014 AT&T announced an agreement to acquire Leap Wireless (Cricket Wireless) for $1.2 Billion. Press Release: http://newsroom.leapwireless.com/Press-Releases/AT-T-to-Acquire-Leap-Wireless- 646.aspx/ Network

GSM facilities

In California, Nevada, Northern New Jersey and New York City, Cingular and T-Mobile USA maintained and shared a GSM-1900 network prior to the acquisition of AT&T Wireless, through a joint venture known as GSM Facilities. The network sharing agreement allowed Cingular to offer local service in northern New Jersey and New York City and T-Mobile USA to offer service in California and Nevada. On May 25, 2004, Cingular and T-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 7 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

Mobile USA announced their intention to dissolve the agreement contingent on Cingular's successful acquisition of AT&T Wireless, the Cingular network was transferred to T-Mobile USA, with Cingular continuing work on the GSM facilities at AT&T Wireless sites.[29]

Fiber network switching facilities

AT&T has a global sub-sea Tier-1 fiber network switching facility on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in conjunction with University of the Virgin Islands Research and Technology Park.

Network coverage

As a result of its formation through mergers and acquisitions, as well as the rapid technological change in the wireless industry, AT&T Mobility operates the second largest digital voice and data network within its United States footprint, reaching over 310 million people or 99.99999% established coverage using different wireless communication standards. The core technology standard for the AT&T Mobility wireless network is called Global System for Mobile Communications, or GSM. Much of the AT&T Mobility network footprint now uses UMTS / HSPA+ Version 2 standard 3GPP+ wireless technologies (UMTS/HSPA) for simultaneous circuit switched voice and packet switched data communications. AT&T Mobility also offers Push To Talk (PTT) service using network technology from Kodiak Networks. An AT&T Mobility Device Support Center in Las Vegas, Nevada Cingular, the predecessor to AT&T Mobility, supported legacy D- AMPS/TDMA and analog wireless networks. In March 2006, Cingular announced that these networks would be shut down by February 2008. As of March 31, 2007 Cingular ended TDMA supported for GoPhone (pre-paid) customers. On February 18, 2008, AT&T Mobility officially ended service on their AMPS and TDMA network, except for in areas previously operated by Dobson Communications; the Dobson AMPS and TDMA network was shut down March 1, 2008.

Networks formerly operated by AT&T Mobility predecessors including Cingular also include various paging services and the Cingular Interactive division, which became Velocita Wireless. Velocita was later purchased by Sprint Nextel.[40]

The AT&T Mobility wireless data network began in 2002 as a Cingular initiative called "Project Genesis" that involved a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) overlay of the entire wireless network. Project Genesis was completed by the end of 2004. Later, this network was upgraded to EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) across the GSM footprint.

In 2005, AT&T Mobility launched a broadband network known as "BroadbandConnect", based on UMTS and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), to counter Verizon Wireless and Sprint's EV-DO networks. UMTS service was launched on December 6, 2005 in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, San Jose, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Puerto Rico, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore and Washington D.C. and expanded to all major metropolitan markets by the end of 2006. As of early 2009, AT&T Mobility has completed its upgrade of the 3G network to HSUPA,[41] and will begin a new round of upgrades to the HSPA+ standard.[42]

Some areas do not have native AT&T coverage, such as much of the state of Nebraska, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and Maine. In these areas, AT&T has roaming agreements with regional providers such as U.S. Cellular, Viaero Wireless, and Union Wireless to provide voice and EDGE/GPRS service.

Future networks

AT&T Mobility, like most other mobile phone companies, has chosen to build its new "4G" networks, with "Long Term Evolution" or LTE technology. LTE is the next step from 3G/WCDMA and HSPA for many already on the GSM technology curve, including AT&T. This new radio access technology will be optimized to deliver very fast data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s downlink and 50 Mbit/s uplink (peak rates). AT&T Networks will be throttling the speeds to ensure all customers will be able to use LTE efficiently. Speeds are expected to be actually 6 Mbit/s to 8 Mbit/s with the exception of around 20 Mbit/s (Peak Rate); however, this will change in time.

Designed to be forward-compatible with SSP and FEGO, LTE incorporates Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) in combination with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in the downlink and Single Carrier FDMA in the uplink to provide high levels of spectral efficiency and end user data rates exceeding 100 Mbit/s, coupled with major improvements in capacity and reductions in latency. LTE will support channel bandwidths from 1.25 MHz to 20 MHz and both FDD and TDD operation. MetroPCS has activated the first LTE network, which is fully operational. Depending on the amount of spectrum the carrier deploys it is expected AT&T will deploy 10 MHz, or 70 Mbit/s.

AT&T upgraded to HSPA 14.4 as a part of their effort to enhance their 3G wireless network as well as the transition to LTE. AT&T stated that their upgrades were completed at the end of 2010 after completing backhaul connections leading from cell sites to AT&T switching facilities.[43] In addition, AT&T has stated that their LTE network will be completed by year end 2014.

Marketing

"Fewest dropped calls"

During the first quarter of 2006, Telephia reported that during an extensive nationwide test of major wireless carriers in 350 metropolitan markets around the country, Cingular dropped the fewest number of calls across the country. In turn, Cingular began aggressively advertising the "Allover Network", citing Telephia as "the leading independent research company." Telephia's report was in stark contrast to the Consumers Union publication, Consumer Reports, based on a survey of 50,000 of its members in 18 cities, which criticized Cingular for static and dropped calls.[44] Furthermore, J.D. Power and Associates consistently ranked Cingular at or near the bottom of every geographical region in its 2006 Wireless Call Quality Study, which is based on a smaller survey of 23,000 wireless users. This campaign had to come to an abrupt end.

Telephia, which tests wireless networks by making over 6 million calls per year in what it claims is the world's largest wireless network test program, initially refused to provide details on its study, and a spokesman for the company has said, according to the Boston Globe, that "Cingular shouldn't have even mentioned the company's name to a reporter."[45] The research company later stated that Cingular did, indeed, have a "statistically significant lower dropped-call rate than the competition across some market/time period groupings", but that Telephia had "no knowledge of the specific methodology (markets, time periods or statistical thresholds) that Cingular used for its 'lowest dropped call' claim."[46] While AT&T has abandoned its verbal claim of "The

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 10 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

Fewest Dropped Calls" in its commercials, it continues to show situations where two persons are speaking with each other on their phones, and one of the users' call drops. AT&T now states "We are still continuing to run ads that emphasize the importance of not dropping calls. That campaign is continuing."[47]

Apple iPhone

On June 29, 2007 the Apple iPhone was introduced to the United States market, and it made AT&T the exclusive carrier for the device within the United States until February 10, 2011, when the iPhone 4 was launched on the Verizon network.

Teething problems with AT&T's billing process emerged soon after the iPhone's release, as early adopters started receiving exceptionally detailed monthly telephone bills[48][49] with one of the most notable being the 300-page iPhone bill that was featured in an online video by blogger Justine Ezarik.[50][51]

Apple launched the iPhone 3G with AT&T on July 11, 2008. Although specific AT&T sales numbers are unavailable, Apple announced that over 1 million iPhone 3G devices were sold during the first three days — in contrast, according to Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, "It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones." [52] In August 2008, Best Buy announced that it would begin selling the iPhone 3G for use on the AT&T network.[53] In September 2008, AT&T announced that it would also sell the iPhone 3G in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.[54]

In the United States, the iPhone 3G is available for purchase with or without an AT&T contract, as most big box retailers, like Best Buy, will sell the device without a contract.[55] AT&T is rumored to have heavily subsidized the iPhone's price to reach a broader spectrum of consumers.

On December 27, 2009, reports began to surface that AT&T had suspended online sales of the iPhone.[56] Spokesman Fletcher Cook said that the phone company periodically "modifies" its distribution channels, but had no further comment on the suspension of sales in the New York City area.[57] One AT&T employee incorrectly stated that, "New York wasn't ready for the iPhone," and that it lacked a sufficient number of cell towers to meet the heavy data demands imposed upon the network by iPhone users.[58] Sales of the popular iPhone resumed December 30, 2009.[59] This incident has revived speculation that AT&T's wireless network is not up to the demands of the current generation of 3G smartphones.[56][60] The official AT&T statement is that a large amount of fraudulent activity caused the withdrawal of sales in the area.

The iPhone 4 was released on June 24, 2010. It brought a number of new features, like an upgraded camera, flash, a new exterior design, upgraded screen, and the new version of Apple's software. According to Apple, over 1.7 million iPhone 4 units were sold in the first few days, which is the most out of any phone ever sold. These sales propelled AT&T to strong Q2 results.

Android-based smart phones

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 11 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

On February 18, 2010, AT&T announced that on March 7, 2010 it would introduce its first smart phone based on Google's Android operating system,[61] the Motorola Backflip.[62][63] On March 22, 2010, AT&T announced that its second Android handset would be the Dell Aero, a revised version of the Dell Mini 3.[61] However, the second Android phone AT&T released was the HTC Aria [64][65][66] which was announced on June 14, 2010 and released on June 20, 2010. The Samsung Captivate, which is part of the Galaxy S family, was released on AT&T's network on July 18, 2010. In addition to devices released on AT&T were a line of handsets manufactured by Motorola. The Motorola Flipout, followed by the Motorola Flipside and the Motorola Bravo all run Android 2.1 and were all released Q4 2010. Three new 4G Android devices were announced for release within the first and second quarter of the fiscal year 2011, including the Motorola Atrix 4G, the HTC Inspire 4G, and the Samsung Infuse 4G. HTC Inspire 4G being the first, preceded by the Motorola Atrix 4G are, available through AT&T's 4G network.[67] These three devices are all running Android 2.2 (Froyo) and are expected to be upgraded to Android 2.3 Gingerbread later in the year, along with an update to "enable" 4G uploads. Unlike other United States networks with Android-based phones, AT&T did not allow non-market apps to be installed. However, on May 16, 2011 AT&T announced that some current and future Android devices will come with an option to allow the installation of unofficial applications.[68]

Windows Phone-based smart phones

On November 8, 2010, AT&T and Microsoft released three smartphones using the Windows Phone operating system. One of the devices is the HTC Surround, which features a slide-out Dolby Surround speaker. Another is the Samsung Focus, featuring a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and bears similarity to Samsung's Android- powered Galaxy S line. The last is the LG Quantum, which has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. All phones include a 5-megapixel camera with flash, a display with WVGA (800x480) resolution, and a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. These releases were all part of the official "flagship carrier" status held by AT&T for Windows Phone. However, despite that status, the user community has been critical of the reluctance of AT&T to release updates for their phones, often leaving AT&T Wireless customers far behind those on other carriers with respect to the release of Windows Phone on their devices.

In 2011, HTC released an updated version of the HTC HD7 as the HTC HD7S. It has a 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, a 4.3-inch screen and HTC Hub, a graphical user interface bearing a slight similarity to HTC Sense. HTC also released the HTC Titan in 2011, with a 4.7-inch Super-LCD screen. Similarly in 2011, the Samsung Focus S was added as an updated Focus, and the Focus Flash was added as an entry-level device.

In 2012, AT&T added the HTC Titan II and Nokia Lumia 900 as the first two LTE Windows Phones available in the United States. Shortly thereafter, the Samsung Focus 2 was made available.

As of August 14, 2012, AT&T Wireless was offering five Windows Phone devices for purchase on their web site: the Lumia 900, Focus Flash, 2, and S, and HTC Titan II.

4G LTE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 12 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM

In a BBDO campaign for 4G and 4G LTE started in November 2012, Beck Bennett interviewed children in commercials directed by Jorma Taccone, with the slogan "It's not complicated." The children were asked whether fast or slow is better, or whether two is better than one.[69][70][71] Taccone said "The spots are 'guided' improv", meaning the children were allowed to be natural until others had to step in and help.[70]

Calling plans and features

AT&T Mobility sells a variety of wireless services, including individual plans, family plans, and GoPhone (prepaid) plans.

Mobile to Mobile

All postpaid monthly rate plans (and most prepaid plans) include unlimited minutes for calls to or from any of AT&T's wireless subscribers. Night and weekend minutes were deducted before unlimited M2M minutes until March 2010, in which AT&T stated on wireless bills that M2M minutes would no longer deplete N/W minutes on plans without unlimited N/W minutes. As of November 2009, all postpaid voice plans (except for the "Nation 450" ) include unlimited night and weekend usage. If all N&W voice minutes are used, calls placed to non-AT&T wireless customers are deducted from the monthly package of anytime minutes. Any unused "anytime" minutes rollover to the next month, and expire after 12 months if not used.

Mobile to Any Mobile

On February 10, 2011, AT&T started offering unlimited mobile calling to any mobile phone on any service provider bundled with unlimited messaging (text, picture, and video).[72][73]

AT&T A-List

As of September 2011 "AT&T A-List" is no longer offered, although it is still supported for existing customers who currently have it.

AT&T Unity

AT&T Unity is a service offered for users of landline and wireless AT&T service. It provides free unlimited calling to users of AT&T landline and wireless services. AT&T Unity customers also receive "Rollover" minutes and night and unlimited weekend minutes. (As of early 2010 "AT&T Unity" is no longer offered, although it is still supported for existing customers who have it.)

Mobile-phone insurance

AT&T Mobility allows its customers to have mobile phone insurance in case of loss or accidental damage. Asurion is the administrator of the insurance program from AT&T. All phones are covered under the mobile phone insurance plan except AT&T GoPhones.[74] Customers are required to pay a deductible for each time they

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 13 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM make an insurance claim, and are only allowed two claims per 12-month period.

As of July 17, 2011 AT&T and Asurion announced that the Apple iPhone will be insurable with their Mobile Protection Pack service.

Slogans

"What do you have to say?" (2000–2002) "Fits you best" (2002–2004) "Raising the bar" (2004–2006) "More bars, In More places" (2006–2007) "Your world. Delivered" (2007–2010) "Rethink possible" (2010–2014) "Mobilizing Your World" (2014–present) Controversies

Cingular/AT&T NASCAR sponsorship controversy

Cingular Wireless began its sponsorship of the #31 Chevrolet, owned by Richard Childress Racing, in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 2002. Two years later, when Nextel Communications (now Sprint Corporation) purchased the naming rights to NASCAR's top division (rebranding the division as the Nextel Cup, and later the Sprint Cup), Cingular and Alltel, sponsor of the #12 Dodge (owned by Penske Racing and driven by Ryan Newman), were allowed to stay as sponsors under a grandfather clause. In early 2007, following its purchase by AT&T, Cingular began a re-branding effort to the AT&T Mobility brand. NASCAR quickly claimed that a clause in their contract with Sprint Nextel would not allow The #31 car of Jeff Burton without Cingular to change either the name or brand advertised on the #31 car. AT&T sponsorship at Bristol Motor Speedway After trying and failing to persuade NASCAR to approve the addition of the AT&T globe logo to the rear of the car, AT&T filed a lawsuit against NASCAR on March 16, 2007. On May 18, AT&T won a preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta and, following a failed emergency motion for a stay by NASCAR on May 19, re-branded the #31 car, driven by Jeff Burton, in time for the Nextel All-Star Challenge that evening.[75][76] NASCAR was later granted an appeal to be heard on August 2.

On June 17, NASCAR announced it had filed a US$100 million lawsuit against AT&T and would like AT&T and all other telecommunications companies out of the sport in 2008.[77]

On August 13, a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit cleared the way for NASCAR to prevent AT&T from featuring its logo on the car. The 11th Circuit dismissed a lower court's ruling that prevented NASCAR from stopping AT&T's plans. The appeals court remanded the case to the district

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility Page 14 of 20 AT&T Mobility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 6/19/15, 3:32 PM court.[78]

At first practice for the Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 24, the #31 car was colored orange and black, but was bare; that is, associate sponsors appeared, but no primary sponsors were on the car, similar to Formula One cars run in races where tobacco advertising is prohibited. The pit crew wore grey Richard Childress Racing shirts and Burton had a plain orange fire suit with associate sponsors. The car, which carried a "subliminal advertising" scheme, arrived in a black hauler with only the number 31 on the side. NASCAR officials said the car would not have made it through inspection with the AT&T logos.[79] During that weekend, AT&T claimed that two alternate paint schemes proposed by AT&T — one advertising its "go phone" and another with the old Cingular slogan "more bars in more places" that AT&T recently brought back — were rejected by NASCAR. The Go Phone scheme had been used in the past.[80] NASCAR later denied these claims.[81]

The car remained bare on race night on August 25, although ESPN aired the AT&T logo during shots from its in-car camera. Fox Sports had done so earlier in the dispute, with the words "Cingular is the new AT&T" on- screen during these shots.

On September 7, 2007, a settlement was reached where AT&T Mobility could remain on the #31 car until the end of 2008, but the associate sponsorship of the #29 Nationwide Series Holiday Inn Chevrolets not affected, because they are in lower series. [82]

Richard Childress Racing announced the AT&T Mobility sponsorship will move to Grand American Road Racing Association sportscar racing in 2009 with the sponsorship of the Childress-Howard Motorsports #4 AT&T Pontiac Daytona Prototype sportscar. Childress is a part-owner of this team.

Data-throttling policy

In 2012, AT&T came under scrutiny for throttling the speed of data delivered to consumers with an unlimited data plan. The company has claimed that, despite its claim of network speeds, it is within its legal rights to reduce the speed of data to consumers who reach preset thresholds. In May 2012, Matt Spaccarelli, a truck driver, won a small claims lawsuit against the company for slowing down his service. A Simi Valley, California judge awarded Spaccarelli $850, agreeing that "unlimited" service shouldn't be subject to slowdowns.[83] Additionally, AT&T's user agreement does not permit class-action suits against the company.[84]

Mobility Administrative Fee

In May 2013, AT&T added a 61 cent fee per month per line to all of its wireless postpaid lines, including lines still under service contract. The fee appears "below the line" making it appear like a tax at the bottom of a customer's phone bill. This fee is thought to bring more than a half-billion dollars in a year for AT&T, which claims the fee is for covering the cost of cell sites and maintenance.[85]

Schumpeter Hidden gems

Reviving old brands sometimes makes more sense than creating new ones Apr 12th 2014 | From the print edition

“CASH IN THE ATTIC” is one of the jewels in the BBC’s crown: “The show that turns hidden treasures into cash and viewers’ dreams into reality”. The format is as addictive as it is straightforward. A camera crew turns up at an ordinary-looking house and searches the attic and other nooks and crannies for things that might have hidden value. The choicest items are sold at auction. Joy is unconfined when a ragged doll turns out to be worth a small fortune. The business world has its own version of this game: entrepreneurs rummaging in corporate attics for neglected but valuable old brands. It is thanks to such treasure-hunting that you can ride an MV Agusta motorbike, wear a Shinola watch, stuff yourself with Twinkies, wash them down with Orangina and play a Gibson guitar.

There are two reasons why such rummaging is so popular. The first is that companies often discard brands that contain plenty of what marketers call “equity”. In plain English, ones that people still remember fondly. Healthy brands can be sacrificed on the altars of corporate takeovers and restructurings: Brim Coffee bit the dust when a succession of mergers and acquisitions left it sharing a stable with Maxwell House; Procter & Gamble abandoned White Cloud toilet paper to focus on its Charmin brand. Or they can become orphans when their parent companies die: former household names that are currently looking for a new guardian include Hidden Magic hairspray, Climax ginger ale and Puss’n Boots cat food.

The second reason is that reviving an old brand often beats spending months and millions on creating a new one, with a lower risk of failure. If something has worked before there is a good chance that it will work again. Old brands come with ready-made logos, slogans, jingles and

http://www.economist.com/node/21600692/print Page 1 of 3 Schumpeter: Hidden gems | The Economist 9/19/14, 10:25 AM

memories. Brim Coffee’s previous owners had spent 35 years and hundreds of millions of dollars drumming the phrase “Fill it to the rim—with Brim” into American brains. Besides equity, another folkloric quality brands are said to need is “authenticity”: whereas Wally Olins, a veteran branding expert, warns creators of new brands that the worst thing they can do is to try to fake this (see article (http://www.economist.com/news/business-books-quarterly/21600663-new-tricks-old-dog-brand- old-man) ), old brands are more likely to possess it.

The simplest version of this strategy is for a company to revive one of its own brands. The textbook case is Volkswagen’s revival of the Beetle in the 1990s. VW played on nostalgia for the 1960s, when the Beetle became the semi-official vehicle of the hippie movement, while reassuring purchasers that it was thoroughly modern: “less flower, more power”. A second version is for a healthy firm to take over an ailing rival’s brands and breathe new life into them. BMW acquired Mini when it bought Rover in 1994, retooled the car to German standards, and made it a huge success.

There are now companies that, like the BBC’s antique-hunters, specialise in rooting out undervalued gems. The Himmel Group, based in Florida, buys old health and beauty brands and relaunches them with a blitz of advertising. Its successes include Ovaltine, a hot drink, Topol tooth polish and Lavoris, a mouthwash. Private-equity groups have also become enthusiastic recyclers. In 2006 the Blackstone Group and Lion Capital joined forces to buy the rights outside America to Orangina, a soft-drink brand discarded by Cadbury, and sold it three years later to Suntory of Japan, realising a 30% annual return on equity. In 2013 Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co acquired Hostess Brands for $410m, and relaunched Twinkies and Ho Hos in what it billed as “the sweetest comeback in the history of ever”. Supermarkets are also savvy purchasers, buying old brands and keeping their distinctive appearance, to justify charging a bit more than for their own-label products. Walmart did this with White Cloud nappies and tissues, for example.

Some striking examples of brand revival are the work of individual entrepreneurs. Shinola was once such a successful producer of shoe polish that Americans reprimanded each other with the phrase, “You can’t tell shit from Shinola.” Tom Kartsotis, a college drop-out turned businessman, revived the name for a new company that produces luxury watches in Detroit and sells them for up to $975 each. The East India Company once controlled half the world’s trade, commanded its own army and issued its own currency, but went out of business in 1873. Sanjiv Mehta, an Indian diamond trader, bought the brand in 2005 and applied it to a new, upmarket retail chain.

Whole lotta lolly

There is no guarantee that your dead brand in the attic will turn into cash: Daimler tried to revive its

http://www.economist.com/node/21600692/print Page 2 of 3 Schumpeter: Hidden gems | The Economist 9/19/14, 10:25 AM

Maybach luxury marque as a competitor to Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but sales were dire, and it gave up in 2013. You need to choose your brand well—there is a big difference between Shinola and, say, Enron—and manage its revival carefully. Many of the most successful exercises in reviving brands are also exercises in repositioning them. Henry Juszkiewicz revitalised Gibson Guitars because he focused on selling to ageing lawyers and doctors, who were willing to pay $20,000 to own the same type of guitar as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, rather than struggling young musicians. He has since added brands such as Slingerland drums and Wurlitzer jukeboxes to his portfolio. Claudio Castiglioni revived his family’s MV Agusta brand by repositioning a classic racing bike as a mid- market roadster.

Such quibbles aside, rediscovering and restoring a neglected brand, tapping into consumers’ fond memories of times gone by, is surely a cost-effective way of competing in a marketing landscape where start-up costs are prohibitive and the chances of failure are high. If capitalism is a system of creative destruction, in Joseph Schumpeter’s famous phrase, it is a system of creative reconstruction as well.
