Superior Rival: AT&T • Despite the fact that AT&T has a significantly lower Network Service Reliability Rating and a comparable customer attrition rate they are the superior rival. • This is because AT&T is most likely to create and sustain competitive advantage against Verizon Wireless because of: • Superior Economies of Scale • More readily available financial resources to support further growth. • This superiority was demonstrated in the First Quarter of 2011 when AT&T surpassed Verizon Wireless as the largest Wireless Carrier in the industry.
