"AT&T Wireless CEO implies iPhone Exclusivity to End", to which I say, "how soon?"

[MacArtist]

No AT&T coverage here in my neck of the woods...er, um, I mean neck of the corn.

I follow Silvaros method of using a prepaid cell phone and carrying my iPod Touch.

I'd like to see what Verizon would have to offer Steve to get the iPhone after their Droid commercials. Tmobile might get the iPhone, but they would have to invest heavily in a 3G network.

Uh, NeXTSTEP did run on x86 as OpenStep. Not a stretch to go to Intel with OS X. Let's see, Verizon rejects Apple and now is funding a marketing campaign to badmouth Apple. Yeah, good luck with your Verizon is getting the iPhone assertion.

So then getting a new iPhone (32GB) and upping my AT&T contract wouldn't be too bad a thing, then.

I agree. Disregarding the Droid commercials for the moment, I think LTE standardization would go a long way to bringing the iPhone to Verizon.

Apple did badmouth Intel, remember?

I'm thinking of a switch to T-Mob for my 1g iPhone. I loved ATT from '04 to about '07, great service, great coverage. The last year they have overextended their network and now my coverage is spotty at times, including at home where it used to be perfect, my phone doesn't even ring at times, etc. EDGE is now a joke. It used to be fairly decent. Enough. Goodbye.

He said nothing to contradict the original term of the exclusivity contract.

Yes, but Verizon is actively campaigning about what the iPhone can't do…probably not a good business model if you are going to start selling the same product. Additionally, Intel was long rumored to be actively courting Apple, regardless of Apple's Intel bashing.

What about Sprint????
