AT&T is a low percentage of my users as well, and Verizon a high
percentage.

I don't know where to find official data (I imagine they keep it
quiet), but I suspect the number of Android phones sold on AT&T is
vastly lower than their potential. Factors are:
-AT&T steering their customers toward the iPhone.
-Not offering very good models of Android phone, possibly to not
compete with the iPhone too much.
-Crippling of features or bloatware on their branded phones, making
their phones worse than the corresponding model on a different
network, in order to prevent users from using tethering, or apps they
don't approve of.

My impression is that AT&T had very little incentive to try too hard
with Android phones when they had a monopoly on the iPhone. Now that
they don't, well, they still might get a better deal (for them, not
the customer) when customer buy iPhone. That could change over time.
