Don’t you just love the “small” guy?

By Charles Martin | April 16, 2009

I saw this in a daily report I get on the goings on in the digital world.  Notice that it says AT&T is looking to extend… not the other way around.  Big telco needs a friend.  Isn’t it fuzzy and sad?  I love the fact that Apple probably has EVERY major telco on their door begging to carry the signal for iPhone.  I also love it that the dressed up guys at AT&T have to suck up to little ‘ol Steve Jobs and they probably hate every minute of it.

AT&T is looking to extend its exclusive deal with Apple to offer the iPhone in the U.S. from 2010 to 2011, per the WSJ. AT&T has reported adding 4.3 million iPhone customers in the second half of 2008, some 40% of which were new to AT&T.
