New interesting column on appe and att
http://blogs.zdnet.c...20994&tag=nl.e589
Now AT&T isn’t exactly a victim here. AT&T has landed millions of locked in customers and the iPhone has been a boon for the carrier.

However, the strategic field has been shifted. Customer loyalty is to Apple not AT&T. If Apple took the iPhone to Verizon Wireless exclusively customers would leave AT&T. Meanwhile, AT&T’s network is getting crushed over the iPhone’s data appetite. And as more apps and features are enabled AT&T’s network gets crushed more. It’s a vicious spiral—for the wireless carrier.

The end of the round 3 coming very quickly.

AT&T *IS* indeed getting crushed.

I see serious but loads of latency and packet loss regularly on AT&T's backbone segments.
