Apple iPhone to Take Down the Telcos

The Apple iPhone could be the first step in breaking the choke hold that the Telcos have had on the development of internet technology. While some have been looking at the features that Apple’s iPhone will offer, others are looking at what features the Telcos can’t get their claws into.

In the past, the smart phones that have been offered have had their WiFi disabled by the Telcos or else a monthly fee was charged for WiFi access. It seems that Apple has climbed over this hurdle and the iPhone’s WiFi capabilities are not controlled or limited by AT&T.

Apple has often led the charge in the technological breakthroughs. If the other companies follow suit, it could be that this will be the start of the take down of the Telcos.
