Same thing happened to AT&T in their earnings results last week. It seems like the only one making any money is Apple and Rogers and AT&T are left to believe that they will make up for the losses over the next 5 years based on higher data plan charges and higher retention. How much do you want to bet that Apple will figure out another way to screw them before they make back half of these losses. Oh how painful it is to be caught within the distortion field!
