With all the rumors and myths surrounding the 3G iPhone, it can be hard to sift through it all and find out what matters. that write-up though, is of a specific importance. It seems though, that an Italian newspaper is reporting that the 3G iPhone is hitting Telecom Italia, and that it is coming very soon. Nothing new there. However, something that catches the eye, is that the 3G iPhone will not be an exclusive, as is seen with the current iPhone.

Just as surprising as the concept of the iPhone not being an exclusive, is that the scoop additionally says that the revenue sharing agreement is out the window. that would

be quite a large step in getting the iPhone to more citizens, however it is unlikely. Apple currently enjoys a nice chunk of every iPhone subscribers bill, and it is doubtful they would give that up.

In the US we will probably see the iPhone stay as an exclusive to AT&T customers. The effect would be more pronounced in Europe, where many carriers have fought with Apple by the revenue sharing and subsidizing of the iPhone.

Editor’s note: I highly doubt that is true.  Until the paper can produce credible source(s) that news has no merit.
