Stock quotes in this article:T, AAPL, VZ 

Away from all the iPad brouhaha, AT&T posted fourth-quarter wireline revenue of $16.2 billion, down 5.3% on the prior year's quarter.

For the full year, AT&T posted revenue of $123 billion, down slightly from $124 billion in fiscal 2008 but in line with analysts' forecast of $123.3 billion.

In a statement released before market open, AT&T forecast "stable-to-improved" earnings in 2010. The company's total 2010 capital expenditures are expected to be between $18 billion and $19 billion.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters have forecast first-quarter earnings of 54 cents a share and revenue of $30.75 billion.

Shares of AT&T rose 14 cents, or 0.55%, to $25.76 in early trading on Thursday, despite a broader dip in tech stocks that saw the Nasdaq fall 1.67%.
