Italy Gets First iPhone Dual Provider Deal
Monday, May 5th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Italy looks to be the first country to break Apple’s one carrier per country rule for the iPhone now that both Telecom Italia and Vodafone plan on offering the combination iPod and smart phone in the country some time this year.
Word first surfaced on April 21 that Telecom Italia had struck a deal with Apple sans long-term exclusivity and revenue sharing. Today, Vodafone announced that it will be carrying the iPhone in ten countries including Italy.
So far neither carrier is offering additional details like when the iPhone will be available in Italy, how much it will cost, or what the service plans will include.
Apple isn’t sharing any extra details either. Instead of commenting on the new two-carrier deal, an Apple spokesperson told MarketWatch "Today’s news is about the iPhone coming to ten new countries later this year. Our goal is to sell ten million iPhones this year."
