AT&T is predicting a growth market for wholesale customer relationships with car manufacturers.
On the table at telecom giant AT&T, according to an article by David Allison, are plans "to serve more than 10 million 'connected cars' by the end of 2017 - five times as many as currently."
Allison quotes a statement by the company:
AT&T expects meaningful subscriber growth for its connected car services in the next three-to-five years," the company reported. "As of today, AT&T provides either wholesale or retail connectivity ('connected cars') to nearly 2 million U.S. registered passenger vehicles with about 500,000 added in the third quarter. In 2015, AT&T expects to connect nearly half of new wireless-connected U.S. passenger vehicles.
