NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T Inc witnessed stronger-than-expected online sales around the kickoff of this year's holiday shopping season as mobile phone shoppers scoured the Web for bargains, Ralph de la Vega, the head of its mobile and consumer business, said on Wednesday.
De la Vega said it was too early to estimate AT&T's overall wireless demand in the current quarter but said that the day after Thanksgiving, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, appeared to bring out cost-conscious consumers.
