iPhone 3G exclusively for AT&T until 2010?

iPhone 3G exclusively for AT&T until 2010? The U.S. mobile phone market is rapidly becoming saturated — meaning everybody who wants a cellphone already has one, that means carriers have to do everything they can to steal subscribers from each other and also maintain a competitive edge against their rivals.

Under the original iPhone contract, Apple had the right to offer Apple iPhone 3G to other carriers beginning in 2009, so AT&T wants to extend their exclusivity agreement into 2010. AT&T chief Randall Stephenson declined to discuss the contract, saying only that he is "very happy" with the arrangement.
