AT&T acquired what was thought exclusive rights to the iPhone, and up until now those rights have stuck. Whether Apple have recognised that releasing the device on other networks will give them more market share, or just want to leverage a wider market base in the US.You’d have to live under a rock, to have not seen the rumours of the iPhone coming to Verizon.

So AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, has let what seems like a rather submissive, comment, add some fervour to the rumour mill, that is grinding a Verizon Apple alliance, into Apple pie in the near future.

“there will be a day when you are not exclusive with the iPhone”

Let’s face it, it had to, has to happen eventually, if you don’t market a device on all available networks, eventually it limits the units you can move.

No where else in the world, was network exclusivity applied to the iPhone. So it seems inevitable that Apple should, by now want to spread the love!

Will the iPhone un attach itself from it’s foster parent?
