Well, it's not much, but AT&T Mobility CEO
Ralph de la Vega doesn't exactly have to go too far out on a limb to attract attention when he's talking about something as big as an end to
iPhone exclusivity. His latest, and seemingly most extensive ruminations on the matter came during a conference call with analysts this week, where he reportedly said that AT&T has a "legacy of having a great portfolio...that will continue after the iPhone is no longer exclusive to us," and that he thinks AT&T's ability to drive results "will continue after the iPhone." He did seem to dial things back a bit later in the call, however, switching to langauge like "even if we lose exclusivity" instead of "after the iPhone," and going on to extol the virtues of the iPhone, noting that "others will try to emulate them [Apple], but that device by far is the best in terms of ease of use."

Loosing iPhone customers means that their network will be less congested. It might actually be a good thing for AT&T!

I doubt that the iphone will be coming to Verizon since they teamed up with google to release the android phones to compete against Apple but yet, I wouldn't be surprise.

Well here in Canada Rogers will no longer be the only one to offer the iPhone. Bell and Telus will be offering it in a few weeks!
