Jeffrey--Judging from the comments I've been reading on this site, it appears there is some type of quid pro quo, though it may not be public. There seems to be little reason that Apple would give exclusive US rights to AT&T unless Apple had already decided NOT to build a CDMA iPhone. I'm not holding my breath for a CDMA iPhone, but as I noted earlier, what I'm really interested in is a world phone with a better browser capability than the Blackberry 8830. Art

Sorry, Jeff, but I didn't take away the same impression. The link provided, computerworld.com, was to a "news" article written by a journalist who covers breaking news for Computerword. The article quotes an analyst for Broadpoint Am Tech. Though any article we read these days is suspect, I didn't take away this piece of info as merely coming from a blogger. Notwithstanding, your comments caused me to Google the matter and there's quite a bit about the contract extension out there on various website.
