AT&T may have extended its iPhone exclusivity via an iPad data deal that Apple couldn't refuse and competitors wouldn't match.

"AT&T had to do something dramatic to get the iPad," says Brian Marshall, a Wall Street analyst at BroadPoint AmTech.

"For that pricing [on the iPad], AT&T was able to negotiate a six-month extension on the iPhone exclusive," Marshall said.

AT&T is offering an unlimited data plan for $30 per month. This is far cheaper then any prior plan and does not require a contract.

Marshall now believes that Verizon won't get the iPhone until the first quarter of 2011.
