http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/11/06/repo ...
Who knows how much is true? But one thing is clear and that is that anyone making a fuss over iPhone's single carrier situation in the US is describing a present fact - not necessarily a near-future reality.
Also, having more carriers does not automatically make everything better. Fees might fall but maybe prices might rise to offset that. The iPhone might learn new tricks in the future that might end up making people even happier than a change in carriers would.
What is written in stone i the technology of the existing iPhones. They are built to work with certain networks. Subscribers have them under AT&T contracts for the time being. A new carrier and a new iPhone will not change those existing realities. It just adds new possibilities, if it comes to be.
Look how much Apple changed the iPod in just several years. Can their engineers change the iPhone too? Heck, yeah. What carriers Apple supports has a lot to do with business agreements, less to do with the year before lasts' product designs.
Anyway, these two articles are a lot more informative and useful than listening to competitors' shills. Someone has done their research. You just have to evaluate each piece of it to estimate how reliable it is. One thing looks pretty certain and that is that the iPhone will evolve and its world markets will grow.
