This latest unsubstantiated bit of intel comes by way of Tim Horan, a telecommunications analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. He asserts that not only will AT&T lose exclusivity come mid-year, but T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and Clearwire will all jump on the iPhone bandwagon soon thereafter. "We believe AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity arrangement with Apple will be expiring by mid-2010,” Horan writes. “For wireless carriers, customers are demanding the device and they need to remain competitive."

We've already heard rumblings that the Verizon iPhone is coming soon, and that the end of AT&T's iPhone monopoly will be announced Wednesday. We also know that the iPhone is now sold by four different carriers in the UK, so there could certainly be some truth to Horan's assertions.
