Apple having billions in cash has led to an interesting line of questioning. http://www.google.com/search?q=apple+carrier+77+billion http://www.google.com/search?q=apple+carrier+77+billion 'They could buy their own phone carrier', 'they could by other companies'. I don't understand the point other than trying to quantify the amount of liquid cash Apple has in the form of a metaphor. ie: 'Warren Buffett could buy an entire amusement park, and an airline.' I will just put my forecast in writing, "Apple investing in anything to do with the dated telecom infrastructure would be stupid, and they know this".
