iPhone news: Orange’s exclusiveity is deemed illegal, Walmart $99 rumor was just that

Thirteen months into a five year exclusivity deal, France’s Orange mobile carrier’s deal with Apple was deemed illegal by the French competition agency. It said that the exclusive rights to the iPhone “by nature introduces a new factor of rigidity in a sector that already lacks competition.”

So now any French carrier may carry the iPhone…

Also, it turns out the Wal-Mart $99 iPhone rumor was just that, a rumor. Information came out today saying that Wal-Mart will begin selling the iPhone on December 28 for $197 for the 8GB and $297 for the 16GB with a 2 year contract. Wal-Mart employees, will however, receive a 15% discount on plans with AT&T
