Maybe. I wonder what happens if there's a ruling forcing them to stop stuff like this? Will it let them get out of whatever contractual agreements they've made with AT&T which are affecting their behavior in regards to the App Store? A part of me likes the idea that Apple will continue to make increasingly bad PR moves while discreetly pointing a finger at AT&T.
