I thought Samsung was a financially successful company, like the biggest in Korea. What's wrong that they can't afford to make a generous deal with a much smaller player that likes to keep broken phones from being a show-stopper? Not just a good deal but a generous deal, what happened to the kind of business acumen that made things like this affordable for successful businessmen? Are billion-dollar outfits not as capable as they were in the past when they were only multi-million-dollar orgs? Why would that be?
