CTIA: Digital Life Pays Off for AT&T

Digital Life has been available for less than a month in 15 markets, but President Kevin Peterson said he's been thrilled with the take-up so far. In his keynote address at Parks Associates' pre-CTIA connected home conference, he wouldn't divulge what the average Digital Home customer was spending, but said it was more than AT&T expected.
