Jobs wanted Apple's own cellular network for iPhone
20.11.11
With the release of the iPhone 4S, Apple has opened up its super-popular smartphone to a number of new customers by adding three of the four major carriers in the U.S. to its line-up.
But before there were exclusivity deals with carriers and every wireless company in America was courting the tech giant, hoping to land the iPhone for its network, there was a different plan in the mind of former CEO Steve Jobs.
According to a story from Ars Technica , Jobs originally planned to release the iPhone free of the constraints of partnerships with existing telecommunications companies in the U.S. During the development of the iPhone, venture capitalist John Stanton says he spent a good deal of time with Jobs, and discussed the idea of skipping the wireless carriers entirely, using only the broadband spectrum utilized by Wi-Fi, which is unlicensed, and therefore not controlled by one telecom company or another.
