On the topic of non U.S. mobile operators and the iPhone, from this  
week´s Basex:TechWatch (http://www.basex.com/btw)

MOBILITY
08-21      According to reports in the Financial Times and other  
newspapers, Apple has signed agreements with T-Mobile of Germany,  
Orange of France, and O2 in the United Kingdom to distribute its  
iPhone.  The contract reportedly includes a provision calling for the  
operators to turn over 10% of revenue made from calls and data  
services to Apple.

[IP] iPhone Unlocking ATT treatens. YOUR EDITORS COMMENTS

I am wondering more and more what the difference is,  if any,   
between Apple and Microsoft. Apple is behaving just like MS not like  
the old Apple I used to like a lot and buy from. In the case of ATT I  
am not surprised. ( I use T-Mobile)

I do have a Windows machine now running Vista and it is not at all  
bad. I may be close to changing my loyalties.

I wonder when the iphone is sold in the rest of the world, especially  
where locking may be illegal or un-enforceable whether ATTAPPLE will  
demand the US Customs seize such phones.

Dave

ps remember I testified in the US vs MS  anitrust trial.
