| | Analysts and Apple Analysts are quite consistently wrong about Apple. They only manage to hit when they make such wide-ranging predictions that just about every potential action is covered by one or another. Thus, iSuppli's opinion here is worthless. | |

"The FCC investigation notwithstanding, Apple has no reason to move away from its highly successful exclusive deal with AT&T, which has already generated strong growth in iPhone sales and is expected to fuel a continued expansion in the coming years," iSuppli says.
Is it me or is the quote giving undue credit for the success of the iphone to ATT?
It is for that reason alone, I call bulldung on this one. Just another analyst trying to stir it up. Asshats, the lot of them.

At the time of its release, the AT&T network was THE ONLY reason I wasn't out there to buy one. (Since then, I learned that also don't want one because of the closed platform.)

Columbia, PA | You're absolutely right. The success of the iPhone has little/nothing to do with AT&T. Apple has created a device and platform that people want to use. AT&T just won the bid...unfortunately. | |

I think a more accurate conclusion would be that since Apple has basically "tapped" it's deal with AT&T it would be wise to find another provider. But, I cannot say if Apple is looking to add on carriers, or jump ship. I think it would be wise to add more carriers to the bucket and not just jump ship - as the article says, if they just jump ship to be exclusive with another carrier it will prove that Apple is more interested in the cash and not the customer. | |
