AT&T Makes Renewed Commitment to Apps for Other Platforms

Re: Control of the Transaction
You are making a bunch of far out assumptions on something you have no proof of.
You assume AT&T will determine what apps will be available to customers and what apps won't be. When I look at the price of a game available for purchase in the Blackberry App World I can then turn around and purchase that exact same game thru the AT&T Media Mall for the exact same price. By purchasing the game through AT&T though I have the option of putting the charge for the game on my wireless bill rather than having to pay for it with PayPal through the BB App World.
You sound like one of those people that argue against big business just for the sake of arguing rather than thinking of how this relationship can help the developers as well. I can guarantee the developers will see a lot more of their sales sold through carrier billing than they would've if they only offered CC or PayPal as a payment method.
