Today, France Telecom-owned Orange released a short announcement:

Orange today announced a new agreement with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to bring the iPhone to Orange customers in Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets later this year.

Again, we see that exclusive country deals are out — Switzerland, Egypt, Portugal and Austria will have two iPhone carriers. However, what we don’t see is Spain on the list. Guess that’s left for Telefonica (NYSE: TEF)’s O2 (NYSE: TEF), Apple’s UK partner, which we think is next in the queue. ;)
