3+ Million Years
Apple announced that in the first 3 days of iPhone 4 that they sold 1.7 million phones. A even more incredible number is that those phones translate into well around 3.4 million years 
of contract phone service (40+ million months) for ATT, sold in just 3 days.
My gut tells me that ATT’s generous relaxing of the upgrade rules while at the same time increasing the cost to break the contract from $175 to $325 is in response to the iPhone coming to Verizon in the somewhat near future. Their best defense at this point is to just continue to load up on those 2 year contracts and hope to have already locked up the market by the time a functioning network gets the phone.
