Steve Jobs Wanted Apple To Create Cellular Network Using Unlicensed Wi-Fi Spectrum To Bypass Carriers
The IDG News Service reports that Steve Jobs's original plan for the iPhone was to bypass carriers entirely using a network owned and run by Apple.
John Stanton, a chairman at the venture capital firm Trilogy Partnership and a legend in the mobile industry, answered questions during an interview that was part of the Law Seminars International conference in Seattle yesterday. While discussing the future of the mobile industry, he talked about his interaction with Steve Jobs.

Actually, since the average consumer's price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic, if Apple charged too much for their services, consumers would continue purchasing mobile data plans from carriers instead. Economics bruh...
