AT&T - Stick it to me ONE MORE TIME

[mik3cap]

I'm begging for it!!!

On top of having to pay the whole cost of my iPhone upgrade, AT&T socked me for another $25 for a hidden "upgrade fee". IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE NOT SUBSIDIZING IT, YOU HAVE TO TWIST MY SACK ONE MORE TIME.

Blood from a stone. Please Mr. Obama, please break up the telecom monopolies and make it stick this time? For the children? For the future of the country?

Why are you harshing on AT&T? You and AT&T are both Apple's bitches. :-)

It's true.

Actually, I have a friend who can show you how to unlock your iPhone. She has it set up to work with a pay-as-you-go company.

Can't really do that, unfortunately. I'm a registered Apple developer, and unlocking is a no-no.

I do not dig on monopolies. This country's infrastructure has gone to shit because we gave too much power to monopoly corporations; just look at any other country where telecom is actually competitive - people get 10MBps on their phones on the other side of the world! Don't even get me started on the cable monopolies... if we don't get net neutrality, we're screwed on a global competitiveness scale.

And really verizon is huge and not too sh$tty when it comes to upgrading. I think AT&T is just banging your ma.

Must suck to be so rich.

Apart from the outrageous price of the phone itself, AT&T is the biggest factor keeping me from getting an iPhone.

This seems to be true of a lot of folks, there could be a ton more U.S. users if they'd loosen the ties. But I think Apple is much more concerned about breaking in to China at this point, so they probably don't really care at all about the U.S. market in comparison.

I seriously have to learn more Chinese!
