Going, Going, Gone?

"SEC filings say the darndest things. In a Friday 10-Q filing, AT&T assured investors that the termination of any handset exclusivity agreement (especially that itsy bitsy deal with Apple) will not have a "material negative impact" on earnings."

"The iPhone might be coming to Verizon in January? Can it be true? The rumor that never dies has popped up again thanks to some vague language in a filing to the SEC, and yet another rumor that Apple is producing Verizon-compatible chipsets for the iPhone."

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe Not. When AT&T states publicly to the SEC and to Shareholders that losing their US exclusivity will not have a negative impact on earnings, one has to begin to believe a bit more that the iPhone is indeed headed to Verizon. Or not. Verizon is keeping quiet, naturally, as they don't want to "Osborne" their existing product line. For any of you following this saga, would you switch if you had the opportunity?
