There was a recent bandwidth auction where the government actually forced/awarded bandwidth to newer players. However, the new players aren't really any different than the old players, so there's a concern that nothing really changes with all this. They're not really protected. More like "not worried". So far, competition rules basically keep the big names (e.g. Verizon, T-Mobile, Orange) out, so the ones who could change the game can't come in. Technically not true.

I am seriously considering all things Mac, including an iPhone ... so I have been researching this. Now that the information is clear it is a bit depressing. Come on people! Picking up the iPhone would be a smart business decision ... let's hope somebody does while making the price reachable. Thanks for the information.
