A few horror stories in the media about parents facing $1,000+ bills for their teenager's iPhone can't help either Apple or Rogers and may very well get noticed outside Canada. Fortunately for Rogers they're a defacto monopoly, so they don't care. Unfortunately for Apple they're constantly having to justify their pricing, and Rogers' gouging is going to stick to both parties. I suspect this has caught Apple by surprise, and they're probably wondering if it's too late to detach themselves from Rogers and wait for a new GSM entrant -- hopefully next year. The only action we (as consumers) can really take is to just not buy the thing.RodTue, 08 Jul 2008 11:44:23 -0000http://zerohedge.disqus.com/frontrunning_june_1/#comment-10352378Who wouldn't trade a 31 year old policy wonk for the invisible hand?
