Verizon doesn't expect to report second quarter earnings until Monday. As a preview, Big Red has said that it added 1.1 million net new subscribers in the period. That compares to the 1.4 million net new subscribers that AT&T brought into the fold during the same three months. For Big Red, the total number of people served by the carrier has now risen to an industry leading 87.7 million customers. As we reported, AT&T has a total of 79.6 million subscribers which places them right behind Verizon.
