AT&T Inc (T) said on Thursday that 40 percent of its iPhone sales since the beginning of the year have been to business customers, suggesting that the phone is encroaching on an area dominated by Research in Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry.
AT&T also generates almost half of its total revenue from business customers, said Ron Spears, the head of the company's business services, at an investor conference.
The company would not say how many iPhones it sold during that period.
Analysts estimate that AT&T, which started selling iPhone in 2007, has about 15 million iPhone users or 17 percent of its total customer base. RIM reported a total customer base of about 41 million for the BlackBerry in its most recent quarterly report.
