NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

NOTE 1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation Throughout this document, AT&T Inc. is referred to as “AT&T,” “we” or the “Company.” We believe that these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the presented interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. You should read this document in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. Our subsidiaries and affiliates operate in the communications services industry both domestically and internationally, providing wireless and wireline communications services and equipment, managed networking, wholesale services, and advertising solutions.

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Investments in partnerships and less than majority-owned subsidiaries where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Earnings from certain foreign equity investments accounted for using the equity method are included for periods ended within up to one month of our period end.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, including estimates of probable losses and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Notes 4 and 5 for a discussion of our changes in accounting and reporting for our pension and other postretirement benefit costs.

Employee Separations We established obligations for expected termination benefits provided under existing plans to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. These benefits include severance payments, workers’ compensation, disability, medical continuation coverage, and other benefits. At June 30, 2011, we had severance accruals of $501 and at December 31, 2010, we had severance accruals of $848.

Income Taxes In March 2010, the President of the United States signed into law comprehensive healthcare reform legislation under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which included a change in the tax treatment related to Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $995 charge to income tax expense in our consolidated statement of income. The charge also contributed to a higher effective tax rate of 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 34.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had issued and outstanding options to purchase approximately 90 million and 143 million shares of AT&T common stock. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the exercise prices of 57 million and 127 million shares were above the market price of AT&T stock for the respective periods. Accordingly, we did not include these amounts in determining the dilutive potential common shares. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the exercise prices of 30 million and 12 million vested stock options were below market price.

NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services over various technology platforms and are managed accordingly. We analyze our various operating segments based on segment income before income taxes. We make our capital allocations decisions primarily based on the network (wireless or wireline) providing services. Actuarial gains and losses from pension and other postretirement benefits, interest expense and other income (expense) – net, are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results. The customers and long-lived assets of our reportable segments are predominantly in the United States. We have four reportable segments: (1) Wireless, (2) Wireline, (3) Advertising Solutions and (4) Other.

The Wireless segment uses our nationwide network to provide consumer and business customers with wireless voice and advanced data communications services.

The Wireline segment uses our regional, national and global network to provide consumer and business customers with landline voice and data communications services, AT&T U-verse^® TV, high-speed broadband and voice services and managed networking to business customers. Additionally, we receive commissions on sales of satellite television services offered through our agency arrangements.

The Advertising Solutions segment includes our directory operations, which publish Yellow and White Pages directories and sell directory advertising and Internet-based advertising and local search.

The Other segment includes results from customer information services, our portion of the results from our international equity investments and all corporate and other operations. Also included in the Other segment are impacts of corporate-wide decisions for which the individual operating segments are not being evaluated, including interest cost and expected return on plan assets for our pension and postretirement benefit plans.

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits as well as the attribution of those benefit costs to our segments. Historically, the total benefit costs were attributed to our various segments. As part of the benefit accounting change, the service cost and the amortization of prior service costs, which represent the benefits earned by active employees during the period, will continue to be attributed to the segment in which the employee is employed, while interest cost and expected return on assets are recorded in the Other segment as those financing activities are managed on a corporate level. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter, will be reflected in AT&T’s consolidated results only. We have adjusted prior-period segment information to conform to the current period’s presentation.

In the following tables, we show how our segment results are reconciled to our consolidated results reported. The Wireless, Wireline, Advertising Solutions and Other columns represent the segment results of each such operating segment. The Consolidations column adds in those line items that we manage on a consolidated basis only: actuarial gains and losses from pension and other postretirement benefits, interest expense and other income (expense) – net.

NOTE 5. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Substantially all of our employees are covered by one of various noncontributory pension and death benefit plans. We also provide certain medical, dental and life insurance benefits to certain retired employees under various plans and accrue actuarially determined postretirement benefit costs as active employees earn these benefits. Our objective in funding these plans, in combination with the standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), is to accumulate assets sufficient to meet the plans’ obligations to provide benefits to employees upon their retirement. No significant cash contributions are required under ERISA regulations during 2011.

The following details pension and postretirement benefit costs included in operating expenses (in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. In the following table, gains are denoted with parentheses. A portion of these expenses is capitalized as part of the benefit load on internal construction and capital expenditures, providing a small reduction in the net expense recorded.

Net postretirement cost	$	170		$	259		$	339		$	518
Combined net pension and postretirement cost	$	279		$	368		$	559		$	736

Our combined net pension and postretirement cost decreased $89 in the second quarter and $177 for the first six months of 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest costs due to our reduction in the discount rate from 6.50% in 2010 to 5.80% in 2011.

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits for all benefit plans. Historically, we recognized the actuarial gains and losses as a component of “Stockholder’s Equity” on our consolidated balance sheets on an annual basis and amortized them into our operating results over the average future service period of the active employees of these plans, to the extent such gains and losses were outside of a corridor. We have elected to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our operating results, noting that it is generally preferable to accelerate the recognition of deferred gains and losses into income rather than to delay such recognition. Generally, these gains and losses are measured annually as of December 31 and accordingly will be recorded during the fourth quarter.

We also provide senior- and middle-management employees with nonqualified, unfunded supplemental retirement and savings plans. Net supplemental retirement pension benefits cost, which is not included in the table above, was $36 in the second quarter of 2011, of which $32 was interest cost and $71 for the first six months, of which $63 was interest cost. In 2010, net supplemental retirement pension benefits cost was $38 in the second quarter, of which $34 was interest cost and $76 for the first six months, of which $68 was interest cost.

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE

The Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access.
Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include: —     Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. —     Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. —     Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability. —     Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. —     Fair value is often based on developed models in which there are few, if any, external observations.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used since December 31, 2010.

Long-Term Debt and Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	Carrying         Amount	Fair         Value	Carrying         Amount	Fair         Value
Notes and debentures	$        66,328	$        70,969	$        64,256	$        69,313
Commercial paper	5	5	1,625	1,625
Bank borrowings	17	17	27	27
Investment securities	2,229	2,229	2,185	2,185

The fair values of our notes and debentures were estimated based on quoted market prices, where available. The carrying value of debt with an original maturity of less than one year approximates market value.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities consist of primarily available-for-sale instruments, which include equities, fixed income bonds and other securities. Substantially all the fair values of our available-for-sale securities were estimated based on quoted market prices. Investments in securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Realized gains and

losses on securities are included in “Other income (expense) – net” in the consolidated statements of income using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (accumulated OCI). Unrealized losses that are considered other than temporary are recorded in “Other income (expense) – net” with the corresponding reduction to the carrying basis of the investment. Fixed income investments have maturities of $225 less than one year, $103 between one to two years, $41 between three to four years, and $264 for five or more years.

Our short-term investments, other short- and long-term held-to-maturity investments (including money market securities) and customer deposits are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values.

Our investment securities maturing within one year are recorded in “Other current assets,” and instruments with maturities of more than one year are recorded in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Following is the fair value leveling for available-for-sale securities and derivatives as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Derivative Financial Instruments

We employ derivatives to manage certain market risks, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. This includes the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, foreign exchange forward contracts and combined interest rate foreign exchange contracts (cross-currency swaps). We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value that is derived from observable market data, including yield curves and foreign exchange rates (all of our derivatives are Level 2). Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the consolidated statements of cash flows as the item being hedged.

The majority of our derivatives are designated either as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge), or as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge).

Fair Value Hedging We designate our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these swaps is to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for floating interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Accrued and realized gains or losses from interest rate swaps impact interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps are recorded at fair market value as assets, and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps are recorded at fair market value as liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate notes payable they hedge due to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate and are recognized in interest expense. Gains or losses realized upon early termination of our fair value hedges are recognized in interest expense. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Cash Flow Hedging Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as assets, and unrealized losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as liabilities, both for the period they are outstanding. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion is reported as a component of accumulated OCI until reclassified into interest expense in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognized as other income or expense in each period.

We designate our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges. We have entered into multiple cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk generated from the issuance of our Euro and British pound sterling denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign denominations to fixed U.S. denominated amounts, to be exchanged at a specified rate, which was determined by the market spot rate upon issuance. They also include an interest rate swap of a fixed foreign-denominated rate to a fixed U.S. denominated interest rate. We evaluate the effectiveness of our cross-currency swaps each quarter. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate locks to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized into income over the life of the related debt, except where a material amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately reclassified to income. No ineffectiveness was measured in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $28 from accumulated OCI to interest expense due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks. Our unutilized interest rate locks carry mandatory early terminations, the latest occurring in April 2012. In April 2011, we utilized $2,600 notional value of interest rate locks related to our April 2011 debt issuance.

We hedge a large portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we often enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate. Some of these instruments are designated as cash flow hedges while others remain non-designated, largely based on size and duration. Gains and losses at the time we settle or take delivery on our designated foreign exchange contracts are amortized into income in the same period the hedged transaction affects

earnings, except where an amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately reclassified to income. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Collateral and Credit-Risk Contingency We have entered into agreements with our derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. At June 30, 2011, we had no posted collateral (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $126 (a receipt liability). Under the agreements, if our credit rating had been simultaneously downgraded two rating levels by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch, Inc., and one rating level by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, before the final collateral exchange in June, we would have been required to post collateral of $28. At December 31, 2010, we had posted collateral of $82 and held collateral of $26. We do not offset the fair value of collateral, whether the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable), against the fair value of the derivative instruments.

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

Pending Acquisitions

T-Mobile  In March 2011, we agreed to acquire from Deutsche Telekom AG (Deutsche Telekom) all of the issued and outstanding shares of T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) in exchange for approximately $39,000, consisting of $25,000 cash and approximately $14,000 of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments. T-Mobile serves approximately 34 million wireless subscribers, and we anticipate this transaction will strengthen and expand our U.S. mobile broadband infrastructure and make Long Term Evolution network technology available to more wireless broadband users in the United States, including those in rural areas. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In March 2011, we filed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) notice of the transaction as required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act). In April 2011, we filed our application for approval of the merger with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We also filed applications or notices in five states (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Louisiana and West Virginia), and have received approvals from Arizona, Louisiana and West Virginia. We anticipate closing the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2012. In the event this transaction does not close, we could be required to pay a breakup fee of $3,000, enter into a broadband roaming agreement and transfer to Deutsche Telekom certain wireless spectrum.

In March 2011, we entered into a credit agreement with certain banks to provide unsecured bridge financing of up to $20,000 in connection with the T-Mobile acquisition. The lenders’ obligations to provide advances will terminate on September 20, 2012, unless prior to that date: (i) we reduce to $0 the commitments of the lenders to provide advances, (ii) the T-Mobile purchase agreement is terminated prior to the date the advances are made, or (iii) certain events of default occur. The agreement contains certain representations and warranties and covenants, including covenants related to liens, mergers and accounting changes, and a debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other modifications described in the agreement) financial ratio covenant that upon closing of the acquisition, AT&T will maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0.

We must repay all advances no later than the first anniversary of the date on which advances are made. The agreement also provides that in the event of certain asset sales or certain debt or stock offerings, we must use the net proceeds to prepay any outstanding advances or to reduce the amount of the lenders’ commitments.

Qualcomm Spectrum Purchase  In December 2010, we agreed to purchase spectrum licenses in the Lower 700 MHz frequency band from Qualcomm Incorporated (Qualcomm) for approximately $1,925 in cash. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In February 2011, the waiting period under the HSR Act expired without the DOJ requesting additional information. We are awaiting approval from the FCC to complete the transaction. AT&T and Qualcomm anticipate closing the purchase in the second half of 2011.

Purchase of Wireless Partnership Minority Interest  On July 1, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Convergys’ minority interests in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and an associated cell tower holding company for approximately $320 in cash.

Dispositions

Sale of Sterling Operations  In May 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell our Sterling Commerce Inc. (Sterling) subsidiary and changed our reporting for Sterling to discontinued operations. In August 2010, we completed the sale and received net proceeds of approximately $1,400, recording a gain of $769.

Overview

Operating income increased $82, or 1.3%, in the second quarter and decreased $81, or 0.7%, for the first six months of 2011. Operating income in the second quarter and for the first six months reflects continued growth in wireless service revenue, driven mostly by our subscriber and data revenue growth, along with an increase in AT&T U-verse^® (U-verse) services and strategic business services. Also contributing to the positive operating income in the second quarter were decreased employee-related charges and lower amortization expenses associated with the accelerated amortization of customer lists acquired in acquisitions. Partially offsetting this increase in the second quarter and more than offsetting the increase for the first six months were continued declines in voice revenue and higher costs from increased sales of smartphones. Our operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 19.7% in 2010 to 19.6% in 2011 and for the first six months decreased from 19.7% in 2010 to 19.1% in 2011.

Operating revenues increased $687, or 2.2%, in the second quarter and $1,404, or 2.3%, for the first six months. This increase was primarily due to the continued growth in wireless service revenue, driven mostly by our increase in subscribers along with a significant increase in wireless data revenue, stemming from higher smartphone sales. Also contributing to the increase was higher wireline data revenue largely due to Internet Protocol (IP) data growth, driven by U-verse subscriber growth and strategic business services.

Partially offsetting our revenue growth was the continued decline in our voice revenues due to a decrease in total switched access lines of 12.2% during the first six months of 2011. Customers disconnecting access lines switched to wireless, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and cable offerings for voice and data or terminated service permanently as businesses closed or consumers left residences. While we lose wireline voice revenues, we have the opportunity to increase wireless service or wireline data revenues should the customer choose us as their wireless or VoIP provider. We also continue to expand our VoIP service for customers who have access to our U-verse video service.

Cost of services and sales expenses increased $880, or 7.1%, in the second quarter and $1,900, or 7.7%, for the first six months. Increased cost of services and sales were primarily due to strong sales of wireless smartphones, a high number of customers upgrading their wireless handset and costs associated with transferring primarily former Alltel Wireless (Alltel) and Centennial Communications Corp. (Centennial) wireless customers to our network. Lower employee-related charges in the second quarter partially offset these increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $58, or 0.8%, in the second quarter and $2 for the first six months. These decreases were primarily due to lower financing-related costs associated with our pension and postretirement benefits (referred to as Pension/OPEB expenses) and decreases in other employee-related expenses partially offset by expenses related to our pending acquisition of T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile). The decrease for the first six months was mostly offset by higher wireless commission and sales.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $217, or 4.5%, in the second quarter and $413, or 4.3%, for the first six months. The decrease was due to lower amortization of intangibles related to customer lists associated with acquisitions, partially offset by increased depreciation associated with ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion.

Interest expense increased $94, or 12.5%, in the second quarter and $175, or 11.5%, for the first six months of 2011. These increases in interest expense were primarily due to no longer capitalizing interest on spectrum that will be used to support our Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, partially offset by a decrease in our average debt balances. Effective January 1, 2011, we ceased capitalization of interest on spectrum for LTE as this spectrum was determined to be ready for its intended use.

Equity in net income of affiliates increased $12, or 6.2%, in the second quarter and $44, or 10.7%, for the first six months of 2011. Increased equity in net income of affiliates was primarily due to improved operating results at América Móvil, S.A. de C.V. (América Móvil).

Other income (expense) – net  We had other income of $27 in the second quarter and $86 for the first six months of 2011, compared to other income of $723 in the second quarter and $701 for the first six months of 2010. Results for 2011 included interest, dividend and leveraged lease income of $34 in the second quarter and $54 for the first six months and a net gain of $48 from the sale of investments, partially offset by a loss of $20 on the sale of nonstrategic assets during the first six months.

Results in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2010 included a $647 gain on the exchange of Telmex Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. (Telmex Internacional) shares for América Móvil shares, a gain from appreciation and sale of other investments, leveraged lease income, dividends and interest.

Income taxes decreased $267, or 12.4%, in the second quarter and $1,328, or 26.4%, for the first six months of 2011. The decrease in income taxes for the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to a $995 charge recorded during the first quarter of 2010 to reflect the deferred tax impact of enacted U.S. healthcare legislation. Our effective tax rate was 34.1% for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2011, as compared to 34.6% for second quarter and 43.1% for the first six months of 2010.

Segment Results

Our segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services over various technology platforms and are managed accordingly. Our operating segment results presented in Note 4 and discussed below for each segment follow our internal management reporting. We analyze our various operating segments based on segment income before income taxes. We make our capital allocations decisions primarily based on the network (wireless or wireline) providing services. Actuarial gains and losses from pension and other postretirement benefits, interest expense and other income (expense) – net, are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results. We have four reportable segments: (1) Wireless, (2) Wireline, (3) Advertising Solutions and (4) Other.

The Wireless segment uses our nationwide network to provide consumer and business customers with wireless voice and advanced data communications services.

The Wireline segment uses our regional, national and global network to provide consumer and business customers with landline voice and data communications services, U-verse TV, high-speed broadband and voice services and managed networking to business customers. Additionally, we receive commissions on sales of satellite television services offered through our agency arrangements.

The Advertising Solutions segment includes our directory operations, which publish Yellow and White Pages directories and sell directory advertising and Internet-based advertising and local search.

The Other segment includes results from customer information services, our portion of the results from our international equity investments and all corporate and other operations. Also included in the Other segment are impacts of corporate-wide decisions for which the individual operating segments are not being evaluated, including interest cost and expected return on pension and postretirement benefits assets.

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits as well as the attribution of those benefit costs to our segments. Historically, the total benefit costs were attributed to our various segments. As part of the benefit accounting change, the service cost and the amortization of prior service costs, which represent the benefits earned by active employees during the period, will continue to be attributed to the segment in which the employee is employed, while interest cost and expected return on assets are recorded in the Other segment as those financing activities are managed on a corporate level. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter, will be reflected in AT&T’s consolidated results only. We have adjusted prior-period segment information to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The following tables show components of results of operations by segment. Significant segment results are discussed following each table. Capital expenditures for each segment are discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Wireless Metrics

Subscriber Additions As of June 30, 2011, we served 98.6 million wireless subscribers. Lower net subscriber additions (net additions) in the first six months of 2011 were primarily attributable to lower net postpaid additions and lower net connected devices additions. The declines in net postpaid additions in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 reflect slowing growth in the industry’s subscriber base, higher postpaid churn attributable in part to the integration of Alltel and Centennial customers into our network, and the expiration of Apple iPhone exclusivity in the first quarter of 2011. The 7.3% increase in gross additions in the second quarter was primarily related to higher activations of postpaid smartphones (a

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

handset with voice and data capabilities using an advanced operating system to better manage data and Internet access), Alltel subscriber additions, and an increase in our reseller subscriber base. The 10.6% increase in gross additions for the first six months of 2011 primarily related to the postpaid smartphone sales trend, sales of connected devices and tablets, Alltel subscriber additions, and growth in our reseller subscriber base. We expect revenue growth to continue to shift from voice toward data revenues with increasing penetration rates for smartphones and additional sales of data-centric devices.

Average service revenue per user (ARPU) from postpaid subscribers increased 2.0% in the second quarter and 2.2% for the first six months of 2011, driven by an increase in postpaid data services ARPU of 16.6% in the second quarter and an increase of 16.3% for the first six months of 2011. Of our total postpaid subscriber base, 67% now use more advanced handsets (with 50% using smartphones), up from 53% a year earlier (with 36% using smartphones). Approximately 68% of our postpaid subscribers were on data plans as of June 30, 2011, up from 58% as of June 30, 2010. The growth in postpaid data services ARPU in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2011 was partially offset by a 5.4% decrease in the second quarter and a 4.8% decrease for the first six months of 2011 in postpaid voice and other service ARPU. Postpaid voice and other service ARPU declined due to lower access and airtime charges and roaming revenues. Continued growth in our FamilyTalk^® Plans (family plans) subscriber base, which has lower ARPU than traditional postpaid subscribers, has also contributed to these declines. The postpaid ARPU increases also reflected the inclusion of subscribers from the Alltel merger.

Total ARPU declined 3.7% in the second quarter and 3.5% for the first six months of 2011, reflecting strong growth in connected devices, tablet subscribers, and reseller subscribers. Connected devices and other data-centric devices, such as tablets, have lower-priced data-only plans compared with our postpaid plans, so those subscribers typically have a lower ARPU compared to ARPU generated from our other subscribers. Data services ARPU increased 10.7% in the second quarter and 10.5% for the first six months of 2011, reflecting these trends. We expect continued revenue growth from data services, as more subscribers purchase smartphones and data-centric devices, and as we continue to expand our network. Voice and other service ARPU declined 10.8% in the second quarter and 10.3% for the first six months of 2011. We expect continued pressure on voice and other service ARPU.

Churn The effective management of subscriber churn is critical to our ability to maximize revenue growth and to maintain and improve margins. Churn rate is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of wireless subscribers who cancel service during a period by the total number of wireless subscribers at the beginning of that period. The churn rate for an annual period is equal to the average of the churn rate for each month of that period. Higher total, postpaid, and connected device churn rates contributed to the decline in net additions in the second quarter and first six months of 2011. Churn also increased slightly as we transitioned former Alltel and Centennial subscribers to our network. Reseller subscribers, who generally have the lowest churn rate among our wireless subscribers, partially offset the churn rate increases due to their increasing share of net additions. A lower prepaid churn rate, due to the introduction of additional tablets to the market after the first quarter of 2010, also partially offset a higher postpaid churn rate.

Wireless Subscriber Relationships

The wireless industry continues to mature. Accordingly, we believe that future wireless growth will increasingly depend on our ability to offer innovative services and devices. To attract and retain subscribers, we offer a wide variety of service plans in addition to offering a broad handset line. Our postpaid subscribers typically sign a two-year contract, which includes discounted handsets and early termination fees. We also offer data plans at different price levels to attract a wide variety of subscribers and to differentiate us from our competitors. Many of our subscribers are on family plans or business plans, which provide for service on multiple handsets at discounted rates, and such subscribers tend to have higher retention and lower churn rates. As of June 30, 2011, more than 85% of our postpaid subscribers are on family plans or business discount plans. Moreover, the vast majority of postpaid subscribers (including family plan users) are allowed to accumulate unused minutes (known as Rollover Minutes^®), a feature that is currently not offered by other major postpaid carriers in the United States, and users would lose these minutes if they switched carriers. Such offerings are intended to encourage existing subscribers to upgrade their current services and/or add connected devices, attract subscribers from other providers, and minimize subscriber churn. In the first six months of 2011, we continued to see a significant portion of our existing subscriber base upgrade from their current devices to smartphones. We also introduced our Mobile to Any Mobile feature, which enables our new and existing subscribers on these and other qualifying plans to make unlimited mobile calls to any mobile number in the United States, subject to certain conditions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

We offer a large variety of handsets, including at least 16 smartphones with advanced operating systems from eight manufacturers. As technology evolves, rapid changes are occurring in the handset and device industry, with the continual introduction of new models (e.g., various Windows, Android, and other smartphones) or significant revisions of existing models. We believe a broad offering of a wide variety of handsets reduces dependence on any single product as these products continue to evolve in terms of technology and subscriber appeal. From time to time, we offer and have offered attractive handsets on an exclusive basis. As these exclusivity arrangements expire, we expect to continue to offer such handsets (based on historical industry practice), and we believe our service plan offerings will help to retain our subscribers by providing incentives not to move to a new carrier. As is common in the industry, most of our phones are designed to work only with our wireless technology, requiring subscribers who desire to move to a new carrier with a different technology to purchase a new device. While the expiration of our iPhone exclusivity arrangement in the first quarter of 2011 contributed to a very small increase in postpaid churn for the first six months of 2011, this increase was largely due to customers that were not currently using an iPhone. While the expiration of our iPhone exclusivity arrangement may continue to affect our net postpaid subscriber additions, we do not expect exclusivity terminations to have a material impact on our Wireless segment income, consolidated operating margin or our cash flows from operations.

We also believe future wireless growth will depend upon a wireless network that has sufficient spectrum and capacity to support innovative services and devices, and makes these innovations available to more wireless subscribers. Due to substantial increases in the demand for wireless service in the United States, AT&T is facing significant spectrum and capacity constraints on its wireless network in certain markets. We expect such constraints to increase and expand to additional markets in the coming years. Unless a solution is obtained, these constraints could affect the quality of existing voice and data services and our ability to launch new, advanced wireless broadband services. To address these constraints, in March 2011, we announced an agreement to acquire T-Mobile (see “T-Mobile” discussed in “Other Business Matters”), which is currently under ongoing regulatory review. While AT&T has and will continue to attempt to address spectrum and capacity constraints on a market-by-market basis, this acquisition provides the surest, fastest, and most efficient solution to these spectrum and capacity constraints. We also anticipate that the acquisition will enhance our ability to provide LTE network technology to over 97% of the U.S. population, including those in various rural areas.

Wireless Operating Results

Our Wireless segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 28.9% in 2010 to 27.0% in 2011, and for the first six months decreased from 29.4% in 2010 to 26.4% in 2011. The margin declines in 2011 were primarily due to higher selling costs associated with smartphone activations and costs associated with the transition of former Alltel and Centennial subscribers to our network, partially offset by higher data revenues generated by our subscribers during the period. While we subsidize the sales prices of various smartphones, we expect to recover that cost over time from increased usage of the devices (especially data usage by the subscriber).

Service revenues are comprised of local voice and data services, roaming, long-distance and other revenue. Service revenues increased $971, or 7.4%, in the second quarter and $2,082, or 8.0%, for the first six months of 2011. The increases for these periods consisted of the following:

— Data service revenues increased $1,024, or 23.4%, in the second quarter and $2,011, or 23.7%, for the first six months of 2011. The increases were primarily due to the increased number of subscribers and heavier text and multimedia messaging and Internet access by subscribers using integrated devices and data-centric devices, such as eReaders, tablets, and mobile navigation devices. Data service revenues accounted for approximately 37% of our wireless service revenues for the first six months of 2011, compared to 33% for the first six months of 2010.

— Voice and other service revenues decreased $53, or 0.6%, in the second quarter, and increased $71, or 0.4%, for the first six months of 2011. While the number of wireless subscribers increased 9.4% over the last 12 months, ARPU continues to decline for voice and other non-data wireless services.

Equipment revenues increased $389, or 36.8%, in the second quarter and $690, or 32.8%, for the first six months of 2011, primarily due to higher sales of smartphones. As previously noted, an increasing share of our postpaid subscriber base now uses a smartphone. Our mix of smartphone sales as a percentage of total sales and upgrades to postpaid subscribers has continued to increase, with the introduction of additional smartphones to the market.

Operations and support expenses increased $1,229, or 14.4%, in the second quarter, and $2,914, or 17.4%, for the first six months of 2011, primarily due to the following:

— Higher levels of smartphone sales and upgrades, as well as handsets provided to former Alltel subscribers, increased equipment costs $930 in the second quarter and $1,857 for the first six months and increased commission expenses $159 in the second quarter and $382 for the first six months.

— Interconnect, network system, and long-distance costs increased $265 in the second quarter and $590 for the first six months due to higher network traffic, our ongoing network enhancement efforts, and higher leasing costs.

— Selling expenses (other than commissions) increased $138 in the second quarter and $265 for the first six months due to increased employee-related costs and advertising.

Partially offsetting these increases were the following:

— Administrative expenses decreased $174 in the second quarter and decreased $74 for the first six months of 2011 due in part to lower legal, tax, and payroll costs in both periods and a reclassification of shared information technology costs.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $35, or 2.2%, in the second quarter and decreased $18, or 0.6%, for the first six months of 2011. Depreciation expense increased $159, or 12.7%, in the second quarter and $229, or 9.3%, in the first six months primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion and the reclassification of shared information technology costs partially offset by certain network assets becoming fully depreciated.

Amortization expense decreased $124, or 37.6%, in the second quarter and $247, or 36.2%, for the first six months primarily due to lower amortization of intangibles for customer lists related to acquisitions.

Operating Income and Margin Trends

Our Wireline segment operating income decreased $73, or 3.6%, in the second quarter and $205, or 5.3%, for the first six months of 2011. Segment operating income margin in the second quarter decreased from 13.2% in 2010 to 13.1% in 2011, and for the first six months decreased from 12.6% in 2010 to 12.3% in 2011. Our operating income and margins continued to be pressured by access line declines as our wireline consumer and business customers either reduced usage or disconnected traditional landline services and switched to alternative technologies, such as wireless and VoIP. Our strategy is to offset these line losses by increasing non-access-line-related revenues from customer connections for data, video, and U-verse voice. Additionally, we have the opportunity to increase Wireless segment revenues if customers choose AT&T Mobility as an alternative provider. The Wireline operating margins also reflect increases in data revenue growth and decreases in employee-related costs, driven by continuing cost initiatives and workforce reductions.

Operating Results

Data revenues increased $490, or 7.1%, in the second quarter and $1,019, or 7.5%, for the first six months of 2011. Data revenues accounted for approximately 49% of wireline operating revenues for the first six months of 2011 and 44% for the first six months of 2010. Data revenues include transport, IP and packet-switched data services.

— IP data revenues increased $622, or 16.2%, in the second quarter and $1,277, or 17.1%, for the first six months of 2011 primarily driven by U-verse expansion, broadband additions and growth in IP-based strategic business services, which include Ethernet and application services. In the second quarter and for the first six months U-verse video revenues increased $303 and $623, strategic business service revenues increased $224 and $431 and broadband high-speed Internet access increased $89 and $187, respectively. The increase in IP data revenues reflects continued growth in the customer base and migration from other traditional circuit-based services.

— Traditional packet switched data services revenue, which include frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode services, decreased $94, or 22.8%, in the second quarter and $191, or 22.6%, for the first six months of 2011. This decrease is primarily due to lower demand as customers continue to shift to IP-based technology such as Virtual Private Networks, DSL and managed Internet services. We expect these traditional services to continue to decline as a percentage of our overall data revenues.

Voice revenues decreased $882, or 12.2%, in the second quarter and $1,814, or 12.3%, for the first six months of 2011 primarily due to declining demand for traditional voice services by our consumer and business customers. Included in voice revenues are revenues from local voice, long-distance (including international) and local wholesale services. Voice revenues do not include VoIP revenues, which are included in data revenues.

— Local voice revenues decreased $553, or 12.4%, in the second quarter and $1,114, or 12.3%, for the first six months of 2011. The decrease was driven primarily by a 12.2% decline in total switched access lines. We expect our local voice revenue to continue to be negatively affected by increased competition from alternative technologies and the disconnection of additional lines.

— Long-distance revenues decreased $306, or 12.4%, in the second quarter and $653, or 12.9%, for the first six months of 2011. Lower demand for long-distance service from global businesses and consumer customers decreased revenues $244 in the second quarter and $523 for the first six months of 2011. Additionally, expected declines in the number of our national mass-market customers decreased revenues $64 in the second quarter and $133 for the first six months of 2011.

Other operating revenues decreased $95, or 7.1%, in the second quarter and $188, or 7.1%, for the first six months of 2011. Major items included in other operating revenues are integration services and customer premises equipment, government-related services and outsourcing, which account for more than 60% of total other revenue for both periods.

Operations and support expenses decreased $185, or 1.8%, in the second quarter and decreased $431, or 2.1%, for the first six months of 2011. Operations and support expenses consist of costs incurred to provide our products and services, including costs of operating and maintaining our networks and personnel costs, such as salary, wage and bonus accruals. Costs in this category include certain network planning and engineering expenses, information technology, our repair technicians and repair services and property taxes. Operations and support expenses also include bad debt expense; advertising costs; sales and marketing functions, including customer service centers; real estate costs, including maintenance and utilities on all buildings; credit and collection functions; and corporate support costs, such as finance, legal, human resources and external affairs. Pension and postretirement costs, net of amounts capitalized as part of construction labor, are also included to the extent that they are associated with these employees.

The decreases in the second quarter and for the first six months were primarily due to lower employee-related expenses $108 and $487, reflecting ongoing workforce reduction initiatives, and reduced traffic compensation charges of $103 and $276, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in U-verse related spending of $93 in the second quarter and $219 for the first six months. Also contributing to a net decrease in the second quarter were refunds of transaction taxes and regulatory fees, and other one-time adjustments.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $229, or 7.4%, in the second quarter and $347, or 5.6%, for the first six months. The second quarter and year-to-date decrease is primarily related to lower amortization of intangibles for the customer lists associated with acquisitions, partially offset by increased depreciation related to capital spending for network upgrades and expansion.

Operating Results

Our advertising solutions operating income margin was 18.9% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 21.2% in the second quarter of 2010 and 20.4% for the first six months of 2011 compared to 22.1% for the first six months of 2010. The declines are primarily attributable to decreased print advertising revenue.

Operating revenues decreased $166, or 16.5%, in the second quarter and $339, or 16.6%, for the first six months of 2011, reflecting migration from print to online search, partially offset by an increase in interactive advertising.

Operating expenses decreased $112, or 14.1%, in the second quarter and $236, or 14.8%, for the first six months of 2011, largely driven by decreased product related expense of $58 in the second quarter and $105 for the first six months and lower

bad debt expense of $32 in the second quarter and $68 for the first six months. Also contributing to the decreases was lower amortization expense of $32 in the second quarter and $68 for the first six months, due to a declining basis method of customer list amortization.

The Other segment includes results from customer information services and all corporate and other operations. This segment includes our portion of the results from our international equity investments. Also included in the Other segment are impacts of corporate-wide decisions for which the individual operating segments are not being evaluated, including the interest cost and expected return on pension and postretirement benefits assets.

Segment operating revenues decreased $20, or 14.6%, in the second quarter and $46, or 16.3%, for the first six months of 2011 primarily due to reduced revenues from our operator services.

Segment operating expenses decreased $133, or 32.8%, in the second quarter and $397, or 47.0%, for the first six months of 2011 primarily due to reduced financing-related costs associated with our pension and postretirement benefits and lower other employee-related charges, partially offset by costs associated with our pending acquisition of T-Mobile.

Our Other segment also includes our equity investments in international companies, the income from which we report as equity in net income of affiliates. Our earnings from foreign affiliates are sensitive to exchange-rate changes in the value of the respective local currencies.

Equity in net income of affiliates increased $28, or 15.0%, in the second quarter and $81, or 20.9%, for the first six months of 2011 primarily due to improved operating results at América Móvil, partially offset by decreased results at Télefonos de México, S.A. de C.V.

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

U-verse Services We continue to expand our deployment of U-verse High Speed Internet and TV services. As of June 30, 2011, we have passed 29 million living units (constructed housing units as well as platted housing lots) and are marketing the services to 76% of those units. We are now nearing completion of our deployment goal of 30 million living units by year-end 2011.

We believe that our U-verse TV service is subject to federal oversight as a “video service” under the Federal Communications Act. However, some cable providers and municipalities have claimed that certain IP services should be treated as a traditional cable service and therefore subject to the applicable state and local cable regulation. Certain municipalities have delayed our request or have refused us permission to use our existing right-of-ways to deploy or activate our U-verse-related services and products, resulting in litigation. Pending negotiations and current or threatened litigation involving municipalities could delay our deployment plans in those areas. Petitions have been filed at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) alleging that the manner in which we provision “public, educational and governmental” (PEG) programming over our U-verse TV service conflicts with federal law, and a lawsuit has been filed in a California state superior court raising similar allegations under California law. If courts having jurisdiction where we have significant deployments of our U-verse services were to decide that federal, state and/or local cable regulation were applicable to our U-verse services, or if the FCC, state agencies or the courts were to rule that we must deliver PEG programming in a manner substantially different from the way we do today or in ways that are inconsistent with our current network architecture, it could have a material adverse effect on the cost, timing and extent of our deployment plans.

Retiree Phone Concession Litigation In May 2005, we were served with a purported class action in U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas (Stoffels v. SBC Communications Inc.), in which the plaintiffs, who are retirees of Pacific Bell Telephone Company, Southwestern Bell and Ameritech, contend that the cash reimbursement formerly paid to retirees living outside their company’s local service area, for telephone service they purchased from another provider, is a “defined benefit plan” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). In October 2006, the Court certified two classes. The issue of whether the concession is an ERISA pension plan was tried before the judge in November 2007. In May 2008, the court ruled that the concession was an ERISA pension plan. We asked the court to certify this ruling for interlocutory appeal, and in August 2008, the court denied our request. In May 2009, we filed a motion for reconsideration with the trial court. That motion was granted in January 2011, and a final judgment was entered in our favor. Plaintiffs have appealed the judgment to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. On June 3, 2011, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that a similar cash reimbursement program currently offered to out-of-region retirees of BellSouth is not a defined benefit plan. The Court’s decision lends significant support to our belief that an adverse outcome having a material effect on our financial statements in this case is unlikely, but we will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this suit on our financial results as it progresses.

NSA Litigation Twenty-four lawsuits were filed alleging that we and other telecommunications carriers unlawfully provided assistance to the National Security Agency in connection with intelligence activities that were initiated following the events of September 11, 2001. In the first filed case, Hepting et al v. AT&T Corp., AT&T Inc. and Does 1-20, a purported class action filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, plaintiffs alleged that the defendants disclosed and are currently disclosing to the U.S. Government content and call records concerning communications to which Plaintiffs were a party. Plaintiffs sought damages, a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief for violations of the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and other federal and California statutes. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The United States asserted the “state secrets privilege” and related statutory privileges and also filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the complaint. The Court denied the motions, and we and the United States appealed. In August 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the district court without deciding the issue in light of the passage of the FISA Amendments Act, a provision of which addresses the allegations in these pending lawsuits (immunity provision). The immunity provision requires the pending lawsuits to be dismissed if the Attorney General certifies to the court either that the alleged assistance was undertaken by court order, certification, directive or written request or that the telecom entity did not provide the alleged assistance. In September 2008, the Attorney General filed his certification and asked the district court to dismiss all of the lawsuits pending against the AT&T Inc. telecommunications companies. The court granted the Government's motion to dismiss and entered final judgments in July 2009. In addition, a lawsuit seeking to enjoin the immunity provision’s application on grounds that it is unconstitutional was filed. In March 2009, we and the Government filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit. The court granted the motion to dismiss and entered final judgment in

July 2009. All cases brought against the AT&T entities have been dismissed. In August 2009, plaintiffs in all cases filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and this appeal remains pending. Management believes this appeal is without merit and intends to continue to defend these matters vigorously.

Universal Service Fees Litigation  In October 2010, our wireless subsidiary was served with a purported class action in Circuit Court, Cole County, Missouri (MBA Surety Agency, Inc. v. AT&T Mobility, LLC), in which the plaintiffs contend that we violated the FCC’s rules by collecting Universal Service Fees on certain services not subject to such fees, including Internet access service provided over wireless handsets commonly called “smartphones” and wireless data cards, as well as collecting certain other state and local fees. Plaintiffs define the class as all persons who from April 1, 2003, until the present had a contractual relationship with us for Internet access through a smartphone or a wireless data card. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages as well as injunctive relief. We believe that an adverse outcome having a material effect on our financial statements in this case is unlikely.

Wireless Transactions

Qualcomm Spectrum Purchase  In December 2010, we agreed to purchase spectrum licenses in the Lower 700 MHz frequency band from Qualcomm Incorporated for approximately $1,925 in cash. The spectrum covers more than 300 million people total nationwide, including 12 MHz of Lower 700 MHz D and E block spectrum covering more than 70 million people in five of the top 15 metropolitan areas and 6 MHz of Lower 700 MHz D block spectrum covering more than 230 million people across the rest of the United States. We plan to deploy this spectrum as supplemental downlink capacity, using carrier aggregation technology once compatible handsets and network equipment are developed. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In February 2011, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act) expired without the Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting additional information. We are awaiting approval by the FCC to complete this transaction. We anticipate closing the purchase in the second half of 2011.

T-Mobile  In March 2011, we agreed to acquire from Deutsche Telekom AG (Deutsche Telekom) all of the issued and outstanding shares of T-Mobile in exchange for approximately $39,000, consisting of $25,000 cash and approximately $14,000 of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments, and the right to nominate a person to a seat on our Board of Directors. T-Mobile serves approximately 34 million wireless subscribers, and we anticipate this transaction will strengthen and expand our U.S. mobile broadband infrastructure and make LTE network technology available to more wireless broadband users in the United States, including those in rural areas. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In March 2011, we filed with the U.S. DOJ notice of the transaction as required under the HSR Act. In April 2011, we filed our application for approval of the merger with the FCC. We also filed applications or notices in five states (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Louisiana and West Virginia), and have received approvals from Arizona, Louisiana and West Virginia . We anticipate closing the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2012. In the event this transaction does not close, we could be required to pay a breakup fee of $3,000, enter into a broadband roaming agreement and transfer to Deutsche Telekom certain wireless spectrum.

In March 2011, we entered into a credit agreement with certain banks to provide unsecured bridge financing of up to $20,000 in connection with the T-Mobile acquisition. The obligations of the lenders under the agreement to provide advances will terminate on September 20, 2012, unless prior to that date: (i) we reduce to $0 the commitments of the lenders under the agreement, (ii) the T-Mobile purchase agreement is terminated prior to the date the advances are made, or (iii) certain events of default occur. The agreement contains certain representations and warranties and covenants, including a debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other modifications described in the agreement) financial ratio covenant effective after the acquisition closes, that AT&T will maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0.

We must repay all advances no later than the first anniversary of the date on which advances are made. The agreement also provides that in the event of certain asset sales or certain debt or stock offerings, we must use the net proceeds to prepay any outstanding advances or to reduce the amount of the lenders’ commitments.

Purchase of Wireless Partnership Minority Interest  On July 1, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Convergys’ minority interests in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and an associated cell tower holding company for approximately $320 in cash. Our decision to purchase Convergys’ minority stake was driven by financial and operational

30

considerations, and because we acquired minority interests in partnerships we already controlled, regulatory approvals for this transaction were not required. We expect no significant impact on our financial results from this transaction.

Tender of Telmex Shares On August 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of América Móvil approved a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Telmex that were not already owned by América Móvil. The offer was for $10.50 Mexican pesos per share (payable in cash). We have announced our intent to tender all of shares of Telmex for an estimated $1,370 of cash (using August 1, 2011 exchange rate). assuming the tender offer launched and it is completed, we expect to record a gain of approximately $0.01 to $0.03 per diluted share after tax as a result of this sale.

COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

Overview AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulatory authorities. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulatory authorities in the markets where service is provided, and regulation is generally limited to operational licensing authority for the provision of services to enterprise customers.

In the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Telecom Act), Congress established a national policy framework intended to bring the benefits of competition and investment in advanced telecommunications facilities and services to all Americans by opening all telecommunications markets to competition and reducing or eliminating regulatory burdens that harm consumer welfare. However, since the Telecom Act was passed, the FCC and some state regulatory commissions have maintained certain regulatory requirements that were imposed decades ago on our traditional wireline subsidiaries when they operated as legal monopolies. Where appropriate, we are pursuing additional legislative and regulatory measures to reduce regulatory burdens that are no longer appropriate in a competitive telecommunications market and that inhibit our ability to compete more effectively and offer services wanted and needed by our customers. The current FCC appears to be more open to maintaining or expanding regulatory requirements on entities subject to its jurisdiction and has declared a national policy objective of ensuring that all Americans have access to broadband technologies and services. To that end, the FCC delivered a National Broadband Plan to Congress in 2010. The FCC has issued dozens of notices seeking comment on whether and how it should modify its rules and policies on a host of issues, which would affect all segments of the communications industry, to achieve universal access to broadband. These issues include rules and policies relating to universal service support, intercarrier compensation and regulation of special access services, as well as a variety of others that could have an impact on AT&T’s operations and revenues. The Commission has opened proceedings to address some of these issues. For example, in February 2011, the Commission released a notice of proposed rulemaking to consider whether and how it should modify its policies and rules relating to intercarrier compensation and universal service support to encourage deployment of broadband to all Americans. However, at this stage, it is too early to assess what, if any, action the Commission may take on these issues, and what the impact of any such changes could have on us.

In addition, states representing a majority of our local service access lines have adopted legislation that enables new video entrants to acquire a single statewide or state-approved franchise (as opposed to the need to acquire hundreds or even thousands of municipal-approved franchises) to offer competitive video services. We also are supporting efforts to update and improve regulatory treatment for retail services. Regulatory reform and passage of legislation is uncertain and depends on many factors.

Our wireless operations operate in robust competitive markets but are likewise subject to substantial governmental regulation. Wireless communications providers must be licensed by the FCC to provide communications services at specified spectrum frequencies within specified geographic areas and must comply with the rules and policies governing the use of the spectrum as adopted by the FCC. The FCC has recognized the importance of providing carriers with access to adequate spectrum to permit continued wireless growth and has begun investigating how to develop policies to promote that goal. While wireless communications providers’ prices and service offerings are generally not subject to state regulation, states continue to attempt to regulate or legislate various aspects of wireless services, such as in the area of consumer protection.

Wireless Broadband Competition  On April 7, 2011, the FCC released a wireless data roaming order requiring wireless carriers to offer wireless data roaming services on “commercially reasonable terms” to other wireless carriers in places where those operators do not have their own systems. As of August 3, 2011, AT&T had signed a total of 16 agreements covered by the order, 12 of which were signed since the order was released. We do not expect this order to have a material impact on our operating results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had $3,831 in cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents included cash of $329 and money market funds and other cash equivalents of $3,502. In the first six months of 2011, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations and the issuance of long-term debt. These inflows were offset by cash used to meet the needs of the business, including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, funding capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders and the repayment of debt. We discuss many of these factors in detail below.

Cash Provided by or Used in Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2011, cash provided by operating activities was $16,757, compared to $15,811 for the first six months of 2010. Our higher operating cash flow reflects decreased tax payments of $2,645 and higher net income partially offset by employee and other accrued liabilities.

Cash Used in or Provided by Investing Activities

For the first six months of 2011, cash used in investing activities totaled $9,450 and consisted primarily of $9,405 for capital expenditures, excluding interest during construction.

Our capital expenditures are primarily for our wireless and wireline subsidiaries’ networks, our U-verse services and support systems for our communications services. The Wireline segment represented 54% of the total capital expenditures, excluding interest during construction, and increased 6% in the first six months. Wireline expenditures increased due to greater demand for Ethernet access and high-speed data services. Capital spending in our Wireless segment, excluding capitalized interest during construction, represented 46% of our total spending and increased 42% in the first six months. Wireless expenditures were primarily used for network capacity expansion, integration and upgrades to our High-Speed Downlink Packet Access network and the initial deployment of LTE (4G) equipment for our expected summer 2011 commercial launch.

We expect that our capital expenditures during 2011 will be in the $20,000 range, assuming that the regulatory environment remains favorable for investment. We continue to expect to fund 2011 capital expenditures for our Wireless and Wireline segments, including international operations, using cash from operations and incremental borrowings, depending on interest rate levels and overall market conditions. The amount of capital investment is influenced by demand for services and products, continued growth and regulatory considerations.

Cash Used in or Provided by Financing Activities

For the six months of 2011, our financing activities were proceeds of $2,985 from our April issuance of $1,750 of 2.95% global notes due 2016 and $1,250 of 4.45% global notes due 2021 (the proceeds of which were used for general purposes). Our other financing activities primarily consisted of the payment of dividends and the repayment of debt.

We paid dividends of $5,082 during the first six months of 2011, compared with $4,960 for the first six months of 2010, primarily reflecting an increase in the quarterly dividend approved by our Board of Directors in December 2010. Dividends declared by our Board of Directors totaled $0.43 per share in the second quarter and $0.86 per share for the first six months of 2011 and $0.42 per share in the second quarter and $0.84 per share for the first six months of 2010. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, internal requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities. It is our intent to provide the financial flexibility to allow our Board of Directors to consider dividend growth and to recommend an increase in dividends to be paid in future periods. All dividends remain subject to declaration by our Board of Directors.

At June 30, 2011, we had $7,910 of debt maturing within one year, which included $7,888 of long-term debt maturities, $5 of commercial paper and $17 of other short-term borrowings. Debt maturing within one year includes the following notes that may be put back to us by the holders:

• $1,000 of annual put reset securities issued by BellSouth that may be put back to us, each April until maturity in 2021. No such put was exercised during April 2011.

• An accreting zero-coupon note, that beginning in May 2012, may be redeemed each May, until maturity in 2022. If the zero-coupon note (issued for principal of $500 in 2007) is held to maturity, the redemption amount will be $1,030.

During the first six months of 2011, we repaid $1,290 of long-term debt with a weighted average interest rate of 6.23%. Additionally, in April 2011, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to exchange $3,500 of previously issued privately held notes for registered notes.

In December 2010, we entered into two revolving credit facilities with a syndicate of banks – a four-year, $5,000 agreement and a $3,000, 364-day agreement. In the event advances are made under either agreement, those advances would be used for general corporate purposes, which could include repayment of maturing commercial paper. Advances are not conditioned on the absence of a material adverse change. All advances must be repaid no later than the date on which lenders are no longer obligated to make any advances under each agreement. Under each agreement, we can terminate, in whole or in part, amounts committed by the lenders in excess of any outstanding advances; however, we cannot reinstate any such terminated commitments. Under the four-year agreement, we must maintain a debt-to-EBITDA, including modifications described in the agreement, financial debt ratio of not more than three-to-one as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the four quarters then ended. Both agreements also contain a negative pledge covenant, which generally provides that if we pledge assets or permit liens on our property, then any advances must also be secured. At June 30, 2011, we had no advances outstanding under either agreement and were in compliance with all covenants under each agreement.

Other

Our total capital consists of debt (long-term debt and debt maturing within one year) and stockholders’ equity. Our capital structure does not include debt issued by our international equity investees. At June 30, 2011, our debt ratio was 36.8%, compared to 40.4% at June 30, 2010, and 37.1% at December 31, 2010. The debt ratio is affected by the same factors that affect total capital, and reflects our continued reduction in debt.

In July 2011, we completed the acquisition of Convergys’ minority interests in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and an associated cell tower holding company for approximately $320 in cash.

At June 30, 2011, we had interest rate swaps with a notional value of $11,800 and a fair value of $525.

We have fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps on foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments with a U.S. dollar notional value of $7,502 to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivatives have been designated at inception and qualify as cash flow hedges with a net fair value of $(85) at June 30, 2011. We have rate locks with a notional value of $800 and a fair value of $(55) and foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $219 and a net fair value of $8 at June 30, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant is recorded, processed, summarized, accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The chief executive officer and chief financial officer have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information set forth in this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially. Many of these factors are discussed in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following factors could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:

• Adverse economic and/or capital access changes in the markets served by us or in countries in which we have significant investments, including the impact on customer demand and our ability and our suppliers’ ability to access financial markets and at favorable rates.

• Changes in available technology and the effects of such changes, including product substitutions and deployment costs.

• Increases in our benefit plans’ costs, including increases due to adverse changes in the U.S. and foreign securities markets, resulting in worse-than-assumed investment returns and discount rates and adverse medical cost trends and unfavorable healthcare legislation and regulations.

• The final outcome of Federal Communications Commission and other federal agency proceedings and reopenings of such proceedings and judicial review, if any, of such proceedings, including issues relating to access charges, broadband deployment, E911 services, competition, net neutrality, unbundled loop and transport elements, wireless license awards and renewals and wireless services, including data roaming agreements.

• The final outcome of regulatory proceedings in the states in which we operate and reopenings of such proceedings and judicial review, if any, of such proceedings, including proceedings relating to Interconnection terms, access charges, universal service, unbundled network elements and resale and wholesale rates, broadband deployment including our U-verse services, net neutrality, performance measurement plans, service standards and traffic compensation.

• Enactment of additional state, federal and/or foreign regulatory and tax laws and regulations pertaining to our subsidiaries and foreign investments, including laws and regulations that reduce our incentive to invest in our networks, resulting in lower revenue growth and/or higher operating costs.

• Our ability to absorb revenue losses caused by increasing competition, including offerings that use alternative technologies (e.g., cable, wireless and VoIP) and our ability to maintain capital expenditures.

• The extent of competition and the resulting pressure on customer and access line totals and wireline and wireless operating margins.

• Our ability to develop attractive and profitable product/service offerings to offset increasing competition in our wireless and wireline markets.

• The ability of our competitors to offer product/service offerings at lower prices due to lower cost structures and regulatory and legislative actions adverse to us, including state regulatory proceedings relating to unbundled network elements and nonregulation of comparable alternative technologies (e.g., VoIP).

• The timing, extent and cost of deployment of our U-verse services; the development of attractive and profitable service offerings; the extent to which regulatory, franchise fees and build-out requirements apply to this initiative; and the availability, cost and/or reliability of the various technologies and/or content required to provide such offerings.

• Our continued ability to attract and offer a diverse portfolio of devices, some on an exclusive basis.

• The availability and cost of additional wireless spectrum and regulations relating to licensing and technical standards and deployment and usage, including network management rules.

• Our ability to manage growth in wireless data services, including network quality.

• The outcome of pending, threatened or potential litigation, including patent and product safety claims by or against third parties.

• The impact on our networks and business from major equipment failures, security breaches related to the network or customer information, our inability to obtain handsets, equipment/software or have handsets, equipment/software serviced in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, energy shortages, wars or terrorist attacks.

• The issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting oversight bodies of new accounting standards or changes to existing standards.

• The issuance by the Internal Revenue Service and/or state tax authorities of new tax regulations or changes to existing standards and actions by federal, state or local tax agencies and judicial authorities with respect to applying applicable tax laws and regulations and the resolution of disputes with any taxing jurisdictions.

• Our ability to adequately fund our wireless operations, including payment for additional spectrum; network upgrades and technological advancements.

• Changes in our corporate strategies, such as changing network requirements or acquisitions and dispositions, which may require significant amounts of cash or stock, to respond to competition and regulatory, legislative and technological developments.

Readers are cautioned that other factors discussed in this report, although not enumerated here, also could materially affect our future earnings.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K various risks that may materially affect our business. We use this section to update this discussion to reflect material developments since our Form 10-K was filed. The additional Risk Factor below reflects our pending acquisition of T-Mobile (See “Other Business Matters”).

The impact of our pending acquisition of T-Mobile, including our ability to obtain governmental approvals on favorable terms including any required divestitures; the risk that such approvals are not obtained and we must pay a break-up fee; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; our costs in financing the acquisition; disruption from the acquisition making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; and competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues.

As discussed in Other Business Matters, in March 2011, we agreed to acquire T-Mobile for approximately $39,000. We believe that the acquisition will give us the scale, resources and spectrum to enable us to deploy LTE technology to more customers than otherwise possible and to address impending spectrum and network capacity constraints thereby enabling us to provide higher quality service including fewer dropped calls, fewer failed calls attempted and increased data speeds. In addition, we believe the acquisition will result in cost savings and other potential synergies. Achieving these results first will depend upon obtaining governmental approvals on favorable terms within the time limits set forth in the purchase agreement. Delays in this process could divert attention from ongoing operations on the part of management and employees, adversely affecting customers and suppliers and therefore revenues. If such approvals are obtained, then we must integrate a large number of network and other operational systems and administrative systems, which may involve significant management time and create uncertainty for employees, customers and suppliers. The integration process may also result in significant expenses and charges against earnings, both cash and noncash. While we have successfully merged large companies into our operations in the past, and therefore expect a successful integration in this case, delays in the process could have a material adverse affect on our revenues, expenses, operating results and financial condition. In addition, events outside of our control, including changes in regulation and laws as well as economic trends, could adversely affect our ability to realize the expected benefits from this acquisition.

Pension And Postretirement Benefits

Pension And Postretirement Benefits

NOTE 5. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Substantially all of our employees are covered by one of various noncontributory pension and death benefit plans. We also provide certain medical, dental and life insurance benefits to certain retired employees under various plans and accrue actuarially determined postretirement benefit costs as active employees earn these benefits. Our objective in funding these plans, in combination with the standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), is to accumulate assets sufficient to meet the plans' obligations to provide benefits to employees upon their retirement. No significant cash contributions are required under ERISA regulations during 2011.

The following details pension and postretirement benefit costs included in operating expenses (in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. In the following table, gains are denoted with parentheses. A portion of these expenses is capitalized as part of the benefit load on internal construction and capital expenditures, providing a small reduction in the net expense recorded.

Net postretirement cost	$	170		$	259		$	339		$	518
Combined net pension and postretirement cost	$	279		$	368		$	559		$	736

Our combined net pension and postretirement cost decreased $89 in the second quarter and $177 for the first six months of 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest costs due to our reduction in the discount rate from 6.50% in 2010 to 5.80% in 2011.

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits for all benefit plans. Historically, we recognized the actuarial gains and losses as a component of "Stockholder's Equity" on our consolidated balance sheets on an annual basis and amortized them into our operating results over the average future service period of the active employees of these plans, to the extent such gains and losses were outside of a corridor. We have elected to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our operating results, noting that it is generally preferable to accelerate the recognition of deferred gains and losses into income rather than to delay such recognition. Generally, these gains and losses are measured annually as of December 31 and accordingly will be recorded during the fourth quarter.

 We also provide senior- and middle-management employees with nonqualified, unfunded supplemental retirement and savings plans. Net supplemental retirement pension benefits cost, which is not included in the table above, was $36 in the second quarter of 2011, of which $32 was interest cost and $71 for the first six months, of which $63 was interest cost. In 2010, net supplemental retirement pension benefits cost was $38 in the second quarter, of which $34 was interest cost and $76 for the first six months, of which $68 was interest cost.

Pension And Postretirement Benefits (Policy)

Jun. 30, 2011

Pension And Postretirement Benefits

Plan Assets And Investment Valuation

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits for all benefit plans. Historically, we recognized the actuarial gains and losses as a component of "Stockholder's Equity" on our consolidated balance sheets on an annual basis and amortized them into our operating results over the average future service period of the active employees of these plans, to the extent such gains and losses were outside of a corridor. We have elected to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our operating results, noting that it is generally preferable to accelerate the recognition of deferred gains and losses into income rather than to delay such recognition. Generally, these gains and losses are measured annually as of December 31 and accordingly will be recorded during the fourth quarter.

Preparation Of Interim Financial Statements

Preparation Of Interim Financial Statements

NOTE 1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation Throughout this document, AT&T Inc. is referred to as "AT&T," "we" or the "Company." We believe that these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the presented interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. You should read this document in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. Our subsidiaries and affiliates operate in the communications services industry both domestically and internationally, providing wireless and wireline communications services and equipment, managed networking, wholesale services, and advertising solutions.

All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Investments in partnerships and less than majority-owned subsidiaries where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Earnings from certain foreign equity investments accounted for using the equity method are included for periods ended within up to one month of our period end.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, including estimates of probable losses and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. See Notes 4 and 5 for a discussion of our changes in accounting and reporting for our pension and other postretirement benefit costs. Employee Separations We established obligations for expected termination benefits provided under existing plans to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. These benefits include severance payments, workers' compensation, disability, medical continuation coverage, and other benefits. At June 30, 2011, we had severance accruals of $501 and at December 31, 2010, we had severance accruals of $848.

Income Taxes In March 2010, the President of the United States signed into law comprehensive healthcare reform legislation under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which included a change in the tax treatment related to Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $995 charge to income tax expense in our consolidated statement of income. The charge also contributed to a higher effective tax rate of 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 34.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

Pending Acquisitions

T-Mobile  In March 2011, we agreed to acquire from Deutsche Telekom AG (Deutsche Telekom) all of the issued and outstanding shares of T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) in exchange for approximately $39,000, consisting of $25,000 cash and approximately $14,000 of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments. T-Mobile serves approximately 34 million wireless subscribers, and we anticipate this transaction will strengthen and expand our U.S. mobile broadband infrastructure and make Long Term Evolution network technology available to more wireless broadband users in the United States, including those in rural areas. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In March 2011, we filed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) notice of the transaction as required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act). In April 2011, we filed our application for approval of the merger with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We also filed applications or notices in five states (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Louisiana and West Virginia), and have received approvals from Arizona, Louisiana and West Virginia. We anticipate closing the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2012. In the event this transaction does not close, we could be required to pay a breakup fee of $3,000, enter into a broadband roaming agreement and transfer to Deutsche Telekom certain wireless spectrum.

In March 2011, we entered into a credit agreement with certain banks to provide unsecured bridge financing of up to $20,000 in connection with the T-Mobile acquisition. The lenders' obligations to provide advances will terminate on September 20, 2012, unless prior to that date: (i) we reduce to $0 the commitments of the lenders to provide advances, (ii) the T-Mobile purchase agreement is terminated prior to the date the advances are made, or (iii) certain events of default occur. The agreement contains certain representations and warranties and covenants, including covenants related to liens, mergers and accounting changes, and a debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other modifications described in the agreement) financial ratio covenant that upon closing of the acquisition, AT&T will maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0.

We must repay all advances no later than the first anniversary of the date on which advances are made. The agreement also provides that in the event of certain asset sales or certain debt or stock offerings, we must use the net proceeds to prepay any outstanding advances or to reduce the amount of the lenders' commitments.

Qualcomm Spectrum Purchase  In December 2010, we agreed to purchase spectrum licenses in the Lower 700 MHz frequency band from Qualcomm Incorporated (Qualcomm) for approximately $1,925 in cash. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In February 2011, the waiting period under the HSR Act expired without the DOJ requesting additional information. We are awaiting approval from the FCC to complete the transaction. AT&T and Qualcomm anticipate closing the purchase in the second half of 2011.

Purchase of Wireless Partnership Minority Interest  On July 1, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Convergys' minority interests in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and an associated cell tower holding company for approximately $320 in cash.

Dispositions

Sale of Sterling Operations  In May 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell our Sterling Commerce Inc. (Sterling) subsidiary and changed our reporting for Sterling to discontinued operations. In August 2010, we completed the sale and received net proceeds of approximately $1,400, recording a gain of $769.

The following table includes Sterling's operating results, which are presented in the "Income From Discontinued Operations, net of tax" line item on the consolidated statements of income. Prior to the reclassification, these results were reported in our Other segment:

Tender of Telmex Shares On August 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of América Móvil, S.A. de C.V. (América Móvil) approved a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Télefonos de México, S.A. de C.V. (Telmex) that were not already owned by América Móvil. The offer was for $10.50 Mexican pesos per share (payable in cash). We have announced our intent to tender all of our shares of Telmex for an estimated $1,370 of cash (using August 1, 2011 exchange rate). Assuming the tender offer is launched and it is completed, we expect to record a gain of approximately $0.01 to $0.03 per diluted share after tax as a result of this sale.

Fair Value Measurements And Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements And Disclosure

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE

The Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access.
Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include: —     Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. —     Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. —     Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability. —     Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. —     Fair value is often based on developed modelsin which there are few, if any, external observations.

The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used since December 31, 2010.

Long-Term Debt and Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	Carrying         Amount	Fair         Value	Carrying         Amount	Fair         Value
Notes and debentures	$        66,328	$        70,969	$        64,256	$        69,313
Commercial paper	5	5	1,625	1,625
Bank borrowings	17	17	27	27
Investment securities	2,229	2,229	2,185	2,185

The fair values of our notes and debentures were estimated based on quoted market prices, where available. The carrying value of debt with an original maturity of less than one year approximates market value.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities consist of primarily available-for-sale instruments, which include equities, fixed income bonds and other securities. Substantially all the fair values of our available-for-sale securities were estimated based on quoted market prices. Investments in securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Realized gains and losses on securities are included in "Other income (expense) – net" in the consolidated statements of income using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (accumulated OCI). Unrealized losses that are considered other than temporary are recorded in "Other income (expense) – net" with the corresponding reduction to the carrying basis of the investment. Fixed income investments have maturities of $225 less than one year, $103 between one to two years, $41 between three to four years, and $264 for five or more years.

Our short-term investments, other short- and long-term held-to-maturity investments (including money market securities) and customer deposits are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values.

Our investment securities maturing within one year are recorded in "Other current assets," and instruments with maturities of more than one year are recorded in "Other Assets" on the consolidated balance sheets.

Following is the fair value leveling for available-for-sale securities and derivatives as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Derivative Financial Instruments

We employ derivatives to manage certain market risks, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. This includes the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, foreign exchange forward contracts and combined interest rate foreign exchange contracts (cross-currency swaps). We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value that is derived from observable market data, including yield curves and foreign exchange rates (all of our derivatives are Level 2). Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the consolidated statements of cash flows as the item being hedged.

The majority of our derivatives are designated either as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge), or as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge).

Fair Value Hedging We designate our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these swaps is to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for floating interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Accrued and realized gains or losses from interest rate swaps impact interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps are recorded at fair market value as assets, and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps are recorded at fair market value as liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate notes payable they hedge due to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate and are recognized in interest expense. Gains or losses realized upon early termination of our fair value hedges are recognized in interest expense. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Cash Flow Hedging Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as assets, and unrealized losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as liabilities, both for the period they are outstanding. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion is reported as a component of accumulated OCI until reclassified into interest expense in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion is recognized as other income or expense in each period.

We designate our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges. We have entered into multiple cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk generated from the issuance of our Euro and British pound sterling denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign denominations to fixed U.S. denominated amounts, to be exchanged at a specified rate, which was determined by the market spot rate upon issuance. They also include an interest rate swap of a fixed foreign-denominated rate to a fixed U.S. denominated interest rate. We evaluate the effectiveness of our cross-currency swaps each quarter. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate locks to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized into income over the life of the related debt, except where a material amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately reclassified to income. No ineffectiveness was measured in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $28 from accumulated OCI to interest expense due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks. Our unutilized interest rate locks carry mandatory early terminations, the latest occurring in April 2012. In April 2011, we utilized $2,600 notional value of interest rate locks related to our April 2011 debt issuance.

We hedge a large portion of the exchange risk involved in anticipation of highly probable foreign currency-denominated transactions. In anticipation of these transactions, we often enter into foreign exchange contracts to provide currency at a fixed rate. Some of these instruments are designated as cash flow hedges while others remain non-designated, largely based on size and duration. Gains and losses at the time we settle or take delivery on our designated foreign exchange contracts are amortized into income in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings, except where an amount is deemed to be ineffective, which would be immediately reclassified to income. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, no ineffectiveness was measured.

Collateral and Credit-Risk Contingency We have entered into agreements with our derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. At June 30, 2011, we had no posted collateral (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $126 (a receipt liability). Under the agreements, if our credit rating had been simultaneously downgraded two rating levels by Moody's Investors Service and Fitch, Inc., and one rating level by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service, before the final collateral exchange in June, we would have been required to post collateral of $28. At December 31, 2010, we had posted collateral of $82 and held collateral of $26. We do not offset the fair value of collateral, whether the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable), against the fair value of the derivative instruments.

Segment Information

NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services over various technology platforms and are managed accordingly. We analyze our various operating segments based on segment income before income taxes. We make our capital allocations decisions primarily based on the network (wireless or wireline) providing services. Actuarial gains and losses from pension and other postretirement benefits, interest expense and other income (expense) – net, are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results. The customers and long-lived assets of our reportable segments are predominantly in the United States. We have four reportable segments: (1) Wireless, (2) Wireline, (3) Advertising Solutions and (4) Other.

The Wireless segment uses our nationwide network to provide consumer and business customers with wireless voice and advanced data communications services.

The Wireline segment uses our regional, national and global network to provide consumer and business customers with landline voice and data communications services, AT&T U-verse^® TV, high-speed broadband and voice services and managed networking to business customers. Additionally, we receive commissions on sales of satellite television services offered through our agency arrangements.

The Advertising Solutions segment includes our directory operations, which publish Yellow and White Pages directories and sell directory advertising and Internet-based advertising and local search.

The Other segment includes results from customer information services, our portion of the results from our international equity investments and all corporate and other operations. Also included in the Other segment are impacts of corporate-wide decisions for which the individual operating segments are not being evaluated, including interest cost and expected return on plan assets for our pension and postretirement benefit plans.

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits as well as the attribution of those benefit costs to our segments. Historically, the total benefit costs were attributed to our various segments. As part of the benefit accounting change, the service cost and the amortization of prior service costs, which represent the benefits earned by active employees during the period, will continue to be attributed to the segment in which the employee is employed, while interest cost and expected return on assets are recorded in the Other segment as those financing activities are managed on a corporate level. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter, will be reflected in AT&T's consolidated results only. We have adjusted prior-period segment information to conform to the current period's presentation.

In the following tables, we show how our segment results are reconciled to our consolidated results reported. The Wireless, Wireline, Advertising Solutions and Other columns represent the segment results of each such operating segment. The Consolidations column adds in those line items that we manage on a consolidated basis only: actuarial gains and losses from pension and other postretirement benefits, interest expense and other income (expense) – net.

Segment Information

Segment Reporting Pensions And Other Postretirement Plans

In January 2011, we announced a change in our method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other postretirement benefits as well as the attribution of those benefit costs to our segments. Historically, the total benefit costs were attributed to our various segments. As part of the benefit accounting change, the service cost and the amortization of prior service costs, which represent the benefits earned by active employees during the period, will continue to be attributed to the segment in which the employee is employed, while interest cost and expected return on assets are recorded in the Other segment as those financing activities are managed on a corporate level. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter, will be reflected in AT&T's consolidated results only. We have adjusted prior-period segment information to conform to the current period's presentation.
