Yeah, that's not Apple's style. Besides, they don't want all of the legacy crap that comes with owning a cell phone carrier.
I suspect the issue is making its way up the corporate ladder through various directors and Vice Presidents.
And I'm sure Apple's got a business plan for running their own MVNO they could dust off if things get out of hand. But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
