AT&T ist des iPhones unwürdig

Steve Jobs zu Randall Stephenson (irgendwie sind alle Randalls da draussen irgendwie so … rückwärtsgewandt kompliziert):

and the only reason you would ever need to talk to me would be to thank me for creating a phone that’s so amazing that it draws people to your shit network in the first place.

[…] And when I say that “we” have a hit on our hands, I’m really giving you way too much credit, because let’s be honest, the success of iPhone has nothing to do with you. In fact, iPhone is a smash hit in spite of your network, not because of it.

[…] Jesus! I can’t believe I’m explaining this to you. You’re in the business of selling bandwidth. That pipe is what you sell. Right now what the market is telling you is that you can sell even more!
