If you trust my oft Swiss-Cheese memory, I recall that it was five-year exclusive agreement. Presumably five years from the initial introduction on June 29, 2007.

This is not an Apple problem, it is an AT&T Problem.

From the OP in this thread:
Quote:
Multimedia Messaging Support (MMS) has been, since the iPhone’s first release, a common request from iPhone users and people considering a switch to an iPhone — it’s a capability many cell phone users take for granted.
Unfortunately, it appears that iPhone users in the United States will be waiting longer for MMS than some other areas. Forstall noted that while iPhone OS 3.0 is capable of MMS, it requires carrier support to implement. Twenty-nine carriers in 76 countries will support MMS at the time of iPhone 3.0’s launch, according to Forstall. AT&T, Apple’s U.S. carrier partner, isn’t among them, at least not initially. AT&T will be ready to support MMS “later this summer,” according to Forstall. That news elicited boos from the crowd.

No word on when the tethering will be available
