Wheeling and Dealing: Why iPhone Won't Be at Verizon

January 29, 2007

The art of the deal ...

Now it's not surprising that Apple's iPhone would wind up with Cingular (er, I mean AT&T), but wouldn't you like to know why -- or at least why it didn't end up with a different wireless service provider, like Verizon, for instance.

Well, your dreams have been answered ... (if you were dreaming about this at all.)

According to USA Today, we can now get an idea of the kinds of negotiations that go on between cell phone companies (aka handset manufacturers) and wireless service providers (aka cell phone companies).

In this case, curious to see issues/details like who decides to fix or replace the phone play such a large part. Lots of other stuff they talk about, too ...

The art of the deal, indeed ...
