On a recent webcast from the Churchill Club Annual Dinner, AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson stated: "We are probably one of the most open networks in the world, not just in the United States. We have thousands of people developing into our architecture today. All of the AT&T phones we sell are Java-equipped. Who doesn't know how to develop into Java, right? If you want to buy a handset on our network without a contract, fine. Just pay retail price for the handset. Right? The only reason we make people sign a contract is if we're subsidizing it heavily. So I would suggest to you we feel like we're a very open network and I think you'll see that continue to open up."

AT&T and Verizon's decision will open the access door for non-phone devices like gaming systems or cameras for the first time. "This is huge news for us," says Michaels.
