"Free the iPhone:" Congress Hearing

A major point of having a capitalist market is that there is competition. If apple couldn't capitalize the profit of it's own invention they wouldn't have made it in the first place. Why are politicians so illogical?

this is dumb, nobody starts this shit over the G1, Palm Pre or other phones. But when this one phone only works for this carrier it's some huge deal. Nobody else has the blackberry storm but nobody bitches.

THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH AT&T. IF PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AT&T TOO GOD DAMN BAD BUY A DIFFERENT PHONE.

People are really fucking pathetic. This debate would never happen if the iPhone weren't created.

@DWproductions07 You're missing the point here, its thoughts like that which allow your freedom to be wiped out from your feet.

Then I want to go to congress and start a debate because my 2000 z28 won't run on e85 ethanol. They are telling me i have to buy a whole new car to be able to run it, my freedom is being taken...

How do u get referals for gift.freebiesjeebies quicker

Or you could just buy an iphone from another country... their not locked to at&t or any carrier for that reason lol

Another technological barrier - the sim card Verizon and Sprint don't even use sim cards only at&t and t-mobile...as far as I'm aware anyway...

Nik4pac if you don't know what your talking about then don't open your mouth. you can transfer it over to any mobile provider that you would like to make the transfer to with out any problems. The only way currently that I know of the transfer to be capable is by SIM card MOD/swapping. Yes if a carrier doesn't have video texting why would they magically be able to do it for this one phone. Cant create something out of nothing. Google phone is better anyway. LLL

actually there is technological barrier. i went to the apple store and asked them why no other carrier can have an iphone they said that the phone would actually slow Verizon down because of the iphone's internet capabilities.

that is true, and rumor has it that Verizon is upgrading their network so they can support devices such as the iPhone.
