==========================================================================
Between about July 1st and Dec 31st millions on iPhone 4 handsets will drop off the 2 year contract.

AT&T risked losing those customers with an unlock issue to the competition.

 

Even AT&T was not foolish enough to risk watching customers jump ship for an unlock friendly competitor..

 

It didn't happen with the iPhone 3 and 3GS because AT&T still had the exclusive.


As soon as Sprint and Verizon got the iPhone AT&T's unlock policy had to change.
