<\/span> The rich mobile carriers got a little richer in the third quarter, as the nation’s top two operators increased their leads over the rest of the field. Verizon Wireless added a million subscribers and posted revenue of $15.8 billion, up 24.4 percent year-over-year, while AT&T reported 2 million net adds — thanks largely to the iPhone<\/a> — and $13.65 in revenue, up 8 percent over the year-ago period. Meanwhile, the increasingly heated prepaid space<\/a> took its toll on Leap Wireless and MetroPCS, as both service providers saw customer growth slide in the third quarter.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
