Colorado Springs, CO | Or They could just realize there is no money to be made trying to be all things to all people. Focus on core services and reliability, and let the App stores be handled by those best equipped to provide a good experience. Even a dumb pipe operator can make money if they play their cards right.

You can be all things to some people. <sarcasm>Yep, no money to be made when you build the devices, develop the operating system, sell and support these devices through your own retail stores, and provide an exclusively controlled app store for these same devices. That would never make money. </sarcasm> |

Wilmington, DE | Apple doesn't operate a cellular network though. Those things you listed that Apple does well do not mean it could also run a cellular network well. I think his point was let the phone makers handle what they do best and let the carriers do what they do best. If carriers spent less time worrying about this stuff and focused more on their networks, our networks would be more on par with the quality of European networks that understand their role in the ecosystem and what they're good at and don't worry about things like running an app store. |
