Once Apple sees the light and end its exclusivity rights . The cashcow will be out of the barn! The wireless apps will be tied to contracts, there really will be no neutrality in any form from At&t -- BF69~~~Please stop suffocating gerbils!
I suspect that Apple is obtaining more customers (globally) with its current arrangement than it would by creating different builds with either AWS (T-Mobile) 3G or even more expensive CDMA 1x/EVDO ( ~ 12% global market vs GSM based).
The issue at hand is: Streaming (eg YouTube, etc. vs Slingbox vs AT&T Uverse app vs. MLB).
Watch what happens when there's an MLB competitor that does the EXACT same thing (eg Hulu ?) -- Canada = Hollywood North
reply to S_engineer Apple will be with AT&T until there is a business reason to not be.
AT&T and Apple are two types of evils - they combined forces and it's doing well for them. They're making an assload of cash off this iPhone thing. -- "If something about the human body disgusts you, complain to the manufacturer" - Lenny Bruce What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.
