another iphone example; how many iphone models have come out? 4 I think? maybe its 3 I don't remember, but the first gen Iphone is old news to the 3g s that's coming out. now if att only had rights for 1st year (about when 2nd gen came out) then another company would have at least had an opportunity to get the iphone. how many ppl would have left att just to get 2nd iphone? ppl are gonna follow the new crave! a decade of rights is just dumb. but its a 50/50 game. its right and its not right. im still just seeing it as a bad business move for apple. how many more customers would they have if they weren't stuck with one carrier. im down with carrier bidding. if say att were to always when well so be it. equal opportunity was given to those other carriers.
