AT&T may have to pay dearly to retain iPhone exclusively

15.04.2009

AT&T is negotiating with Apple , which expires next year, into 2011, The Wall Street Journal reported. Neither company will comment publicly on the report.

Five analysts interviewed today were divided over what Apple might do about extending the arrangement, but all agreed that an extension would clearly benefit AT&T.

"AT&T would be crazy not to want to keep the exclusivity as long as they can," independent analyst Jeffrey Kagan said.
