How much technological leadership do mobile carriers have to throw around, really? They're not exactly writing must-have apps or creating meaningful services.

How much technological leadership do mobile carriers have to throw around, really? They're not exactly writing must-have apps or creating meaningful services. Their salespeople are Best Buy-style hucksters at best. The bottom line is they've fought the iPhone tooth and nail and it's still dominating U.S. sales.

Even the underlying tech generally isn't theirs, the network hardware is built by NEC, Nokia or other such manufacturers.
