AT&T must be run by a bunch of PIGS. AT&T sees no problem with an exclusive deal with Apple to offer the iPhone, then AT&T tells companies like Verizon to F.O. when they wanted to offer the iPhone. On the other hand when Cablevision has an exclusive to carry the Mono Sodium Glutamate Channel, the Weasels at AT&T and other entertainment carriers cry foul. Apparently Cablevision's competitors are getting a headache from not being able to carry the Mono Sodium Glutamate Channel. I think that the FCC should tell AT&T to F.O.
reply to Mr Matt This isn't the same. AT&T doesn't own Apple, and Apple had approached Verizon FIRST and Verizon balked.
There is a distinct difference between a property holder keeping the stuff to themselves and competitive bidding like DirecTV did getting NFL Sunday Ticket or AT&T getting the iPhone. No one is getting a chance for MSG.
Your example would only fit if Apple were a cellular carrier themselves.
