AT&T concedes challenges in managing iPhone traffic

AT&T Mobility routinely trumpets the number of iPhones it activates each quarter, as well as the data revenues generated by those iPhone sales.

In an interview with the New York Times, AT&T's chief technology officer conceded the difficulties in keeping pace with iPhone users' data demands.
