Once 4G gets rolled out, then that will definitely change things. Sprint, for example, is using WiMax, which nobody else uses. Verizon and AT&T will be using LTE. I don't think T-Mobile has a 4G strategy yet- they are still trying to get 3G rolled out.

So Sprint will likely be using a technology that nobody else uses, while AT&T and Verizon use the worldwide standard. AT&T and Verizon will therefore have plenty of devices being made for them, while Sprint only gets devices they have specially made.

Anyway, this is too far out to really say for certain, but that is what it's looking like right now.

Also, as far as Sprint rolling out 4G- my city is not even on the list of future cities yet. No telling when or if I will ever even get Sprint 4G. It's entirely possible that I get AT&T or Verizon 4G before I get Sprint 4G in my area. And even if Sprint happens to get 4G in my area first, again, there are no devices. There are a few data cards that SPrint gets especially made for them, but I'm more concerned with smartphones than data cards. With all of Europe and the rest of the world using LTE, you can bet AT&T and Verizon will be getting some awesome devices as they rollout their new networks.
