You're blaming Apple because the different carriers all decided on incompatible RF standards? You're blaming Apple because your carrier doesn't offer a family data plan, and you refuse to consider a wifi-only iPad? I think you're ranting in the wrong direction, and in the wrong place.

I agree. I wonder what kind of telecom market entrance Apple could make with $100 Billion?

Seeing as how Verizon's operating revenue is over $100 Billion a year (it's about the same as Apples). They'd have 1 year to make it work before it sunk the company. while I agree the mobile carrier biz is all sorts of mal-adjusted to market demands insufferably dis-jointed, the technology and it's robustness they bring to the table is really quite remarkable.
