AT&T chief: iPhone won't be exclusive forever Quote: PASADENA, Calif.--It's not realistic to believe AT&T will have an exclusive on the iPhone forever, CEO Randall Stephenson said Thursday. "There will be a day when you are not exclusive with the iPhone," Stephenson said, speaking at Fortune's Brainstorm: Tech conference here. However, he declined to get into details on the company's negotiations with Apple. The issue of whether--and more likely when--AT&T loses the exclusive on the iPhone has become a major issue for the company and its investors. "On balance, I think it works really, really well--maybe as well as any strategic partnership we have," Stephenson said. Asked by Fortune's Stephanie Mehta whether he is completely satisfied with the nature of the relationship, Stephenson quipped: "I don't know if I could get my wife to say that about me, so I don't think I could say that about a business partner." AT&T's earnings report early Thursday showed the company taking a hit from the expense of the new iPhone 3GS. "I'd like to pay less for the handset, go figure," he said. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10...ml?tag=nl.e703 __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

Looking forward to when it's not. I thought it was being dropped in 2009 (I must admit, I didn't read the article, just have known this for a while). I have a Blackberry Curve right now, but when it is no longer exclusive, I am getting an iPhone definitely. __________________ -- Me You can find me on Facebook or Twitter by searching for my username.
