iPhone exclusive to Vodafone NZ?

Great news today that the iPhone is coming to New Zealand soon! Vodafone announced that they will start offering the iPhone in 10 markets, including New Zealand, later this year.

However, the press assumes that the iPhone will be exclusive to Vodafone NZ. This might not be the case however…  I would not be surprised if Telecom NZ will also offer the iPhone. Vodafone Italy has a non-exclusive deal, the same may be true for NZ…
