Apple Iphone is Telecom Bling — Reporters missed the real story — This is a Wireless story about Control of the wireless networks, cost of service, speed, and service restrictions
Before you buy an Apple iPhone, you should read the ‘fine print’ in AT&T’s wireless service contract. The first question every customer should ask is —Why did Apple, the standard for innovative techno-cool, partner with a telecom curmudgeon that has a penchant for not caring about their customers. AT&T’s “Data Connect Unlimited” wireless network used for the iPhone is slow, expensive and a downright restrictive network, not ‘unlimited” as the name implies. Most reporters have been praising Apple’s new phone. Yet it is clear that while the phone is the new wunderkind of industrial design and customer interface, the reporters missed the main issue — This is a wireless phone and broadband service, and an AT&T control issue — not a techno-toy issue. And the fine print and tricks of the wireless trade are downright offensive and need to be addressed.
Total Screw, why bother with the thing!
