Vodafone to offer iPhone contracts in ten countries - Apple u-turn?
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008
This morning saw mole phone network operator Vodafone announce that they had won the right to distribute the iPhone in ten countries. However, in Italy, one of the ten, it seems the contract isn’t an exclusive one, with Telecom Italia also bragging the right to distribute the device. Could this mean Apple are doing a u-turn on having one exclusive distributor in each country?






Lawyers working for Apple have spent the last few months trying, and universally succeeding, to destroy any companies who have been selling iPhone clones. However, the Managing Director of one such company was shocked at their ruthlessness.
When Apple is forced to do something it doesn’t want to do, it will usually find away around whatever is causing it grief. And so it turns out “unlocked” iPhones sold in France aren’t truly unlocked.
