"Verizon’s interests are best served in a market where there are many phone makers"... A simple application of commoditizing your complements. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html By that logic, though, Apple should aggressively be putting iPhones on all the major carriers - failure to do so is the probably the main reason there are more installed Android phones out there right now. But I'm guessing AT&T is giving them an amazing deal, like a revenue share of the user's monthly subscription.
