The following is a round-up of news likely to affect stock prices today: Apple ( AAPL ) is having a busy week. On Monday, it’s due to report earnings later in the day.

AT&T ( T ) will lose its U.S. exclusive distribution rights for the Apple ( AAPL ) iPhone on Wednesday, according to a report published at tech blog Hot Hardware, which claims to have an inside source. That’s the same day that Apple is holding a special press event at which it is expected to launch its new tablet computer. By contract, AT&T has an exclusive relationship with Apple until later this year, but that wouldn’t prevent Apple from revealing its plans for the iPhone when that exclusive is over.

Hot Apple Rumor: AT&T to Lose Its iPhone Exclusive This Week

Making good on its pledge to get help to Haiti immediately, Verizon Wireless advanced $2.98 million in mobile donations that its customers have made to the Red Cross on Friday. Since the earthquake hit Haiti earlier this week, wireless companies have received a flood of donations via text messages. Typically, such donations can take up to three months to be delivered. But as DailyFinance reported yesterday, Verizon Wireless had been looking for a way to “get this money into the pipeline ASAP.” Continue reading Verizon Delivers $3 Million in Subscriber Text Donations for Haiti Relief Verizon Delivers $3 Million in Subscriber Text Donations for Haiti Relief originally appeared on DailyFinance on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:30:00.

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Columns , Google , Apple , AT&T , Verizon Apple ( AAPL ) broke its silence in the advertising battle going on between AT&T ( T ) and Verizon ( VZ ). The iPhone maker launched its ad campaign this week showing an iPhone user talking on the phone while surfing the Web as a voice asks, “Can your phone and your network do that?” It’s Apple’s comeback to Verizon’s latest attack on the iPhone which runs on AT&T’s wireless networks.

Massucci’s Take: Apple teams with AT&T in ad battle with Verizon

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Columns , Apple , AT&T Two weeks ago, in a post about AT&T’s spotty third generation wireless coverage , I posed a simple question: “How about an announcement telling customers how AT&T has been working with Apple to help boost the quality of its iPhone service?” Now, that seems to be exactly what is happening. AT&T ( T ) reported on Tuesday that it had spent $65 million upgrading its wireless network in San Francisco since 2008. The phone company said it upgraded about 850 cell sites because of the rising demand put on its network since the iPhone started selling two years ago. That’s good news to many iPhone users, whose phone has become synonymous with “dropped calls.” Continue reading Massucci’s Take: AT&T investment boosts coverage and reputation Massucci’s Take: AT&T investment boosts coverage and reputation originally appeared on DailyFinance on Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:00:00 EST.

Massucci’s Take: AT&T investment boosts coverage and reputation

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Google , Motorola , Apple , Verizon After weeks of build-up, Verizon Communications’s ( VZ ) Verizon Wireless unleashed its new Google ( GOOG )-powered Droid smartphone on Friday, and New York City retailers were selling out of the device — billed as the first legitimate challenger to Apple’s ( AAPL ) iPhone’s first legitimate challenger — on the first day. “We’re gonna need more phones,” Amanda Leavelle, a Verizon Wireless store manager in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, said around 2 p.m. “I just checked, and our inventory is running low, so I’ve got to call for some more.” Continue reading Verizon Droid unleashed on NYC: ‘We’re gonna need more phones’ Verizon Droid unleashed on NYC: ‘We’re gonna need more phones’ originally appeared on DailyFinance on Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:40:00 EST.

Verizon Droid unleashed on NYC: ‘We’re gonna need more phones’

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Columns , Apple , AT&T , Verizon AT&T ( T ) is suing Verizon Wireless for misleading advertising. But its actions could do the company more harm than good. The reason for the lawsuit: Verizon ( VZ ) has been mocking Apple’s ( AAPL ) iPhone “There’s an App for That” ads. Verizon TV ads show off a coverage map depicting its larger, third-generation (3G) wireless coverage next to AT&T’s smaller 3G coverage map. In its advertisements Verizon quips: “There’s a Map for That.” That may irk AT&T, but the company does not dispute Verizon’s larger 3G coverage. But it is suing Verizon for highlighting its spotty coverage in a misleading manner. In Verizon’s ads, the maps display blank space in AT&T’s coverage area. The intent, according to Verizon, is to show where AT&T lacks 3G coverage. But AT&T claims the ads imply that AT&T provides no coverage at all in those areas.

Massucci’s Take: AT&T’s lawsuit against Verizon draws attention to its own flaws

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Media , Google , Nokia , Apple , AT&T , Verizon Competition in the mobile phone arena is about to really get real. Apple’s iPhone — available only on AT&T — has been the toast of the mobile world in recent years, but now Google is set to unleash a worthy challenger. Through its Android open source mobile operating system and a pact with Verizon Wireless, the two companies have begun an all out assault on the iPhone, starting with an in-your-face TV spot mocking the popular handset and introducing consumers to Droid. Over the weekend, TV watchers got their first glimpse of Verizon’s Droid, an upcoming device the mobile giant hopes will give it enough presence to challenge Apple and AT&T’s iPhone as well as Canadian smartphone giant Research in Motion, which recently released a series of new feature-rich BlackBerry devices.

Verizon’s ‘Droid’ attack on the iPhone elevates Google in mobile air-wars

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Media , Google , Apple , AT&T , Verizon Despite what a handful of lawmakers may say, the dispute between Google ( GOOG ) and AT&T ( T ) over the search giant’s Google Voice application is not so much about fairness or rural access as it is about steamy phone sex and piles of money. These lawmakers, including Steve Buyer , an Indiana Republican and John Shimkus , an Illinois Republican — who have received a combined $200,000 from AT&T and Verizon over their careers, according to Opensecrets.org — have written to the FCC complaining that Google’s refusal to connect expensive rural calls is “ill conceived and unfair to our rural constituents.” The FCC is set to open an investigation to determine if that’s true, according to Dow Jones, and will formally notify Google of the inquest later Friday. But why all the interest in Google Voice from AT&T, Congress and now the FCC? After all, Google Voice is available by invite only, and only a relative handful of people are using it. So why is everyone in such a lather about it? And why is AT&T expending so much energy to create roadblocks to its tiny new rival?
