It is known that AT&T has a contract signed with Apple according to which AT&T is the exclusive seller of AT&T iPhones in the USA. But it is not known how long the contract is going to last. Some sources announce that the contract was signed for 5 years, while others tell that it was signed for two years. No one can say it for sure, as AT&T and Apple do not inform the Mass Media about the contract details.
According to the announcements from USA Today the two companies originally signed the exclusive contract for two years in 2007. It means that the contract expires in 2009. But when at the beginning of this summer the new AT&T iPhone 3G was released both companies decided to forget about the previous deal and start the time counting from that moment, which means that AT&T will be the exclusive Apple iPhones distributor for two more years. But it does not mean that Apple is going to present iPhone to other distributors in 2010. Its desire to lengthen its contract with AT&T is the sign that the existing system is convenient. AT&T in its turn is also pleased with these conditions. "iPhone made AT&T the leading wireless brand in the world", Randal Stevenson, the company director, announced USA Today. So the AT&T iPhones will continue to invade the mobile phone market.
