Will AT&T Lose the iPhone?
I forecast it 57% likely. Goodbye AT&T, hello T-Mobile?
AT&T's iPhone exclusive contract in the US runs out next year. Will Apple move to another carrier like T-Mobile?
According to Fast Company:
"Being an AT&T-only hardware maker isn't working out as fortuitously for Apple. AT&T's network is prone to outages and is known to be one of the worst offenders in the dropped-call rankings. Its service plans are more expensive than T-Mobile, its 3G speeds are less consistent than Sprint, and its customer service is ranked as inferior to Verizon's"
So will AT&T loose the iPhone contract, which would be a major blow to the company?

well, um... imprecisely worded question...
I think they are more likely to go multi-carrier, so I am saying YES to this prediction... I think they will remain with ATT but will expand to other carriers...

They wont "lose" it...
Certainly apple will go multi carrier with most likely Verizon and offer them to T-Mobile as well. At&t will lobby hard to protect the dedicated access to the platform. They will pay what they have to.

The flood of new smart phones hitting the market in the next 18 months AND the creative ad campaign by verizon against AT&T will dictate that Iphone allow itself access to a broader sales market. Especially after its failed attempt to take over the largest cell market of all, China.
