The eventual response from Apple / AT&T will be that it invalidates the warranty. AT&T might add that it is a breach of the contract terms.

In the long run I believe this will speed up the release of the phone into other markets because if Apple doesn't make deals with other networks soon it won't have any bargaining power with which to do so given the availability of the phone without the need for the deal.
