Now that Apple and AT&T have squeaked out of the [iPhone Gen. 1 revenue sharing] deal, what’s holding the two companies together? Certainly some would say that it’s that oft-mentioned exclusivity agreement the companies signed, but I don’t know of one person who actually read the thing and no one really knows if Apple can get out or not.But if I had to take a guess, step one in getting out of its contract with AT&T revolved around the revenue sharing deal. And before you know it, Steve Jobs’ latest blockbuster may be on other carriers.

It may be hard to believe right now, but rest assured that the chances of AT&T and Apple no longer working with each other are greater than you might think. Cnet

This would be a 200-mph blast of fresh air into the iPhone Equation, especially after widespread news that the iPhone Gen. 2 will be locked to AT&T’s network. Having a choice of 2, 3 or more carriers to marry your iPhone to would bring down prices and offer new services. It would be mobile device nirvana.
