Apparently, an unconfirmed, unproven, anonymous source inside Valve has informed a Battlefield 3 fansite that the company behind the world's foremost digital distribution service, Steam, is in "late-stage" talks with Electronic Arts to bring Battlefield 3 to the service.

Even though… you know… this seems like some kind of pie-in-the-sky, probably-not-really-happening, but-hey-let's-get-some-attention, everyone-wants-it rumor… but, you know… it's-probably-not-happening-because c'mon we've-gone-over-this and i-just-don't-see-it-happening.
