Reports are coming from Fox News that AT&T outbid all other GSM service providers for offering a reasonable $14.99 and $29.99 data plans for future iPad owners.
Meanwhile Verizon and Apple are still in negotiations and have been at a stalemate for sometime, since 2006, over details for the Verizon service to carry Apple products.
Verizon spokesman Jeff Nelson said:
Apple and Verizon are still “very much talking over plans to bring an iPhone and an iPad” to the CDMA network this year, following the expiration of AT&T’s exclusive agreement with Apple.
We also still are not entirely clear on when the AT&T exclusivity with the iPhone is supposed to end. Will it end if Verizon and Apple fail to agree to terms?
