LUBBOCK, Texas-Sprint PCS affiliate Alamosa Holdings Inc. released preliminary second-quarter results showing that it added approximately 40,000 net customer additions during the second quarter of this year-ending the period with 813,000 total subscribers-compared with 24,000 net customer additions during the second quarter of 2003. Bolstering the carrier’s subscriber growth was a sharp reduction in customer churn from 2.5 percent last year to 2.1 percent this year, though Alamosa’s management cautioned that it expected churn to increase during the second half of this year due to wireless local number portability and seasonal growth patterns.
Alamosa is scheduled to release full second-quarter results Aug. 5.
