News Flash: AT&T Bites the Wax Tadpole
June 16th, 2010 - 9:44 am
First, AT&T’s servers couldn’t handle the demand for iPhone 4 pre-orders. What — they hadn’t seen the thing? Now, AT&T’s pre-order customers have had — what, exactly? — revealed in some kind of security breach.
C’mon, Apple. Your exclusivity contract with AT&T must have a failure-to-perform escape clause. And if AT&T’s network issues don’t qualify, surely the events of the last few days do. Add to that the crappy way AT&T is treating its customers by eliminating new unlimited data plans, and you’ve got a recipe for an epic fail.
Get with it, Mr. Jobs.

You mean, AT+T, I presume?
Corrected now — thanks!
I can’t help but think that if that exclusivity agreement with AT&T wasn’t ironclad, Jobs would have shoved it up Randall Stephenson’s posterior some time ago. And seriously, who has a CEO named Randall anyway? How can you hear that name and not think of the guy in “Clerks?” Just imagine all of the statements and ideas from AT&T being read to you by Jeff Anderson (in character), and it all makes sense.
