IT SEEMS THAT AT&T is flogging the Iphone in New York City again after pulling the plug on sales in much of the area, possibly because it could not provide good network coverage there. Or something.
It also told some people that it had stopped selling Iphones in parts of the New York City metropolitan area due to concerns about fraud, but it apparently offered no details to support that line.
Faced with the choice of sprucing up its lack-lustre coverage or stopping sales of the gadget that put too much pressure on it, AT&T apparently tried the latter approach. Although it made no announcements, the policy was uncovered by New York Apple fanboys who wanted to buy the toy for Christmas, and then the news was widely reported.
Now it seems that AT&T has resumed selling Iphones through its website to New York City customers.
AT&T apparently is copying Apple and pretending that nothing ever happened, but then its PR department is probably still on holiday. µ
Don't point a finger at AT&T without considering the same exact problems that AT&T has is actually the problem at all carriers. They are all greedy and corrupt.
NYCers deserve to be illegally spied upon just like the rest of us. Most of those taxi drivers are Muslim terrorists anyway. Since AT&T got telecom immunity anyway, they can continue on as business as usual.
That's just tells you how mas·o·chist Apple fanboys are.!!!
Oh, Oh, I want my Iphone even if it doesn't work....
"It's pure economics and AT&T is only doing what any business minded person would do" What, ripping off their customers by not having the infrastruture in place to support the users of their product? That's not the answer at all, is it? AT&T are crooks plain and simple, they have little, if any, responsibility to their clients.
The rest of who? Oh, I forgot, my mom doesn't use a smart phone either...
It's pure economics and AT&T is only doing what any business minded person would do - stop selling phones on the internet. Why? The average I Phone internet buyer tends to be a heavy user and downloads way more than the average Joe, clogging up the system for the rest of us.
