Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 11, 2013, AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”, “we” or “the Company”) provided updated information regarding changes to the classification of certain revenue items and access lines.
Wireless segment revenues now include text messaging revenue with voice revenue, reflecting recent changes in our service pricing plans. We have adjusted prior period results to reflect the lower data revenue and data ARPU. This change will not impact Wireless service revenue reported in our consolidated results.
We have also revised our definition of Wireline Strategic Business Services to add VoIP, security services, Ethernet-access to Managed Internet Service (eaMIS) and U-verse services provided to our business customers, reflecting our current strategic service offerings. These new services are added to our existing Ethernet, VPNs, hosting, IP conferencing and applications services.
Beginning in 2013, switched access lines, which traditionally have included only those access lines served by AT&T’s Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers and affiliates, will now include those lines served by AT&T Corp. Switched access lines will also reflect the removal of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connections, which are associated with the digital transmission of voice, video, data and other network services over the traditional circuits.
We have applied these changes retrospectively, adjusting prior-period segment information. As a convenience to investors who may want to consider the effects of this change, AT&T is providing updated prior-quarter results on the investor relations page on our website (www.att.com/investor.relations). The information provided on our website is not incorporated by reference herein.
