IPhone vs. AT&T

Is ATT trying to buy Apple?

I figured it out last night while sleeping. The senior management of AT&T really miss being at the technological center of the universe since they lost Lucent in 1996.  When Steve Jobs showed them the IPhone, their long lost dreams of getting back into hardware all became crystal clear, so they hatched a plan.

• They didn’t care if their stock price went from 39 in June of 2007 to 26 in January 2010.
• They didn’t care if they created one of the biggest PR disasters of the last decade.

The plan was to lock Apple into a multiyear exclusive contract and then destabilize them by not upgrading their data network to support the new phone. Than blame the whole thing on the Apple hardware allowing them to purchase the company on the cheap.

I think AT&T’s master plan is working, :).
