Why don't ATT phones have indicator lights?

[eeyore6802]

Being someone who started my smartphone journey way back with blackberry, I grew quite fond of the indicator lights on the phone to notify you of an email etc. So naturally after switching to ATT last year and getting my note, I was quite disappointed it didn't have one. Someone said this was an ATT thing and not a note thing. Is there a reason why ATT phones don't use the indicator light?

My AT&T SGS3 has one.

AT&T couldn't care less. It all has to do with the phone manufacturers decision to put one on or not. HTC for instance puts lights in their speaker grills.
