Jim Cramer/RealMoney.com has notes from AT&T regarding their plans for the iPhone. His column suggests that AT&T will be using the iPhone to aggressively target customers and implies that they will provide significant discounts in service:

I think that AT&T -- and not Apple -- is the key to this next leg, and CEO Stan Sigman can make it happen.
A recap of the same article outright claims that AT&T/Cingular will be "giving away its service for a year and a half to those customers who buy the phone". Update: Cingular rep denies the rumor: "We've always said the only way you can get the iPhone is with a Cingular rate plan."
