By Amy Thomson
June 29 (Bloomberg) -- Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S.
mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone
next year, ending AT&T Inc.’s exclusive hold on the smartphone
in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said.
The device will be available to customers in January,
according to the people, who declined to be named because the
information isn’t public. Brenda Raney, a spokeswoman for
Verizon Wireless, did not immediately return a call seeking
comment. Natalie Kerris, an Apple spokeswoman, and Peter Thonis,
a Verizon Communications Inc. spokesman, declined to comment.

June 29 (Bloomberg) -- Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S.
mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone
next year, ending AT&T Inc.’s exclusive hold on the smartphone
in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said.
The device will be available to customers in January,
according to the people, who declined to be named because the
information isn’t public. Brenda Raney, a spokeswoman for
Verizon Wireless, didn’t immediately return a call seeking
comment. Natalie Kerris, an Apple spokeswoman, and Peter Thonis,
a Verizon Communications Inc. spokesman, declined to comment.
The iPhone, which has been the sole domain of rival AT&T in
the U.S. since June 2007, will give Verizon a boost in its
competition for smartphone customers, UBS AG analyst John
Hodulik said in an interview. Verizon customers, who numbered
92.8 million at the end of the first quarter, may buy 3 million
iPhones a quarter, he estimates.
“The fact is, Apple is going to dramatically increase the
number of devices it sells in the U.S. when exclusivity at AT&T
ends,” said Hodulik, who is based in New York and rates Verizon
shares “neutral.” “It’s hard to ignore the quality issues that
AT&T has faced.”
Verizon Wireless, which is building a high-speed fourth-
generation network, plans to unveil a number of devices that
will run on the new technology in January at the Consumer
Electronics Show, Chief Executive Officer Lowell McAdam has
said.
Verizon Communications, which co-owns the wireless company
with Vodafone Group Plc, rose 28 cents to $28.99 in New York
Stock Exchange composite trading at 3:08 p.m. AT&T declined 54
cents to $24.41. Apple, based in Cupertino, California, dropped
$9.45 to $258.85 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Research In Motion Ltd., whose BlackBerry is sold by
Verizon Wireless, fell $3.19, or 6 percent, $49.78.
