Phones

If the stories are correct that the major U.S. carriers don't want to distribute an Apple iPhone because they'd lose music sales, this rumor could be their worst nightmare.

Anyway, the scuttle on the net is that Apple are going to (in part) bypass the US networks altogether and launch their own with a brand new invention from the networks, the MVNO. In effect Apple would hire bandwidth/airtime from a network (sounds like they’re using Sprint) and label the network “Apple.” People would get SIM cards from their nearest Apple Store (or www.apple.com) and away they go. The MVNO has anumber of operators in the UK so really it’s a no-brainer in my mind.
