AT&T gets extension for Iphone
Until at least 2010
Wednesday, 6 August 2008, 08:58
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson has confirmed that the company has retained exclusive rights to the Iphone until 2010.
It had been previously believed that the pastel-flavoured toymaker had blessed AT&T with the soul rights to peddle its Jesus phone until 2009.
But now it appears that the telco wangled an extension to the scheme thanks to shelling out a huge subsidy to Apple to cut the price of the 3G version of the Iphone.
Stephenson said that he is "very happy" with the new arrangement.
However it does mean that thousands of Iphone users are stuck with AT& T's network when they would probably be happier looking elsewhere. There are some parts of the US where two bean tins and a bit of string would make a better connection. ยต

AT&T is allegedly closely linked with No Such Agency... so all you lucky I-Phone users get an extension on the illegal wire-tapping that was said to be aimed at the cave-dwelling bearded demographic. Do I-Phones even work in caves? I doubt the NSA even cares about the answer to that question.
