Dave, for IP if you wish.

Apple is good at two things, combining other's intellectual property into their products and gouging their customers. The bottom line is that Apple has managed to grab the part of a contract which subsidized the hardware and
o add 0% onto the bill of everyone who is stupid enough to buy Apple's
marketing hype. And you can bet that AT&T is also gouging iPhone customers.

Apple and AT&T are cut from the same cloth.

I believe that we should have government intervention into cellular
contractual issues. The hardware should be unbundled from plans and service
providers should have to compete based on alacarte usage.
