If Italy Vodafone and Tim are preparing the arrival of ‘iPhone 3G, in the U.S. AT & T is not less, with articulated plans for network development and an unusual restriction on sales.
Until further notice, in fact, in stores AT & T can buy one iPhone per person instead of the first three awards and, of course, the purchase should strictly be regularized by credit card. This is probably justified with the intention of the operator to maintain a stock of phones until the actual launch of the new model.
Much more interesting instead the announcement that AT & T has plan to develop an extensive network with 3G speeds up to 20 megabits per second by 2009, certainly to prepare the network iPhone but also to the whole new set of devices that will be, including the Blackberry 9000.
Maybe AT & T has learned that instead of banning the “unblocking” of devices that are used with other operators, it would be more fruitful to give customers a reason to stay. And the development of the network certainly goes in this direction.
