    The Piper Jaffray analyst is not alone in believing the iPhone could jump ship next year, as others believe Apple is looking to Verizon as a possible alternative. Even Denny Strigle, Verizon’s president, has been complimentary of the iPhone this year, as his company is rumored to be fast-tracking its new 4G network for launch by early 2010. AT&T, meanwhile, is said to be continuing its negotiations with Apple, in an attempt to keep the iPhone exclusive through 2011. While customers have been extremely satisfied with Apple’s phone and have embraced it, many U.S. customers have been disappointed with the AT&T network.

    In 2007, AT&T spent $2.2 Billion on advertising. If I were AT&T, I’d take all that money and put it towards improving the network infrastructure. They’ve lost the public perception game - everyone knows Verizon’s network is better, and network quality is the only thing that matters these days.
