Sounds like some interesting negotiations that went horribly wrong. You would have thought they would have all the legal stuff wrapped up long before a CES announce.

Probably price. AT&T couldn't see themselves selling a noname brand phone in the Us for 850+

AT&T pulled out due to political pressure from the US gov, several news sources confirmed the reason was political. This is honestly really sad and idiotic.

I suspect AT&T doesn't want to put any of their lucrative government contracts at risk, so they're supporting the xenophobia of our current administration. Would love to see T-Mo step in here, but not holding my breath. Regardless, I suspect the Mates will be on Amazon and @ Best Buy before long...

So the US government only wants the US Government spying on world citizen's and no one else. Having your cake an eating it.
