Re: iPhone is keeping AT&T afloat

I suspect that will be the case.

AT&T wants to keep iPhone exclusive (keeping many adds, and more importantly, keeping customers from leaving)

Apple wants revenue - doesn't care where it gets it from

AT&T would not like to have to pay as much as it does for iPhone customers (takes a while to break even), and customer adds on the decline.

Being GSM/HSDPA based, T-Mobile would be an 'easy' add, radio change for AWS 3G.

A little more work - chipset change + FCC for EVDO for it to go to Sprint/Verizon.

HSPA/LTE would be the next logical step.
