- tzs 5y agoI recall reading that starting their own MVNO was the backup plan under Jobs if they had not been able to convince any existing carriers to allow the iPhone. At the time, the carriers specified much of how the software must work on any phone that they allowed onto their networks, both functionality and UI. Apple wanted the relationship with the carrier to be that Apple was in charge of everything except the low level code for dealing with the cellular network. Cingular agreed, the iPhone was a huge success, the other carriers then agreed, and that's where we are today.
