A
pple seems to be softening up on its one-provider-fits-all po
licy for the iPhone in other parts of the world.
Recent announcements reveal that yes, it is now possible to have different prov
iders sell the iPhone in the same markets, particularly in Europe. For example, Deutsche Telecom has had the exclusive right
to distribute the iPhone in Austria, but now Orange is getting in on the action there as well. In Italy, <
strong>Vodafone and Telecom Italia are now both distr
ibuting the iPhone, while in Egypt and Portugal, Vodafone and Orange both have their finge
rs in the Apple pie.
In the US, the five-year exclusivity contract between Apple and AT&
T apparently still stands, but T-Mobile USA has recen
tly started providing wifi service in Starbucks cafes alongsid
e AT&T. Hmm.
In the Doodler's home country, it was recently announced that Globe, one of the two dominant telecom providers along with Smart, will be releasing the iPhone in the Philippines this year through its part
nership with Singapore Telecommunications, which has acquired
the rights from Apple for the region.
So it isn't impossible to see a Smart iPhone in the future as well, after all.
Well, as we say here in my country, the more, the many-er.

Naks! Pwede ba maka bili para madala dito sa US?
huh? cheaper ata sa US kesa dito sa pinas...
Vodafone is mostly going to distributing iPhone in many country, Here in india
too Vodafone is going to distribute iphone.
3rd party distribution can help alot to get the early entry of product in any c
ountry.
Since legit iPhones, whether from Globe or Smart, will have to be activated thr
ough the iTunes Store, does that mean that Apple will open the iTunes Store to
Philippine residents, with the option to purchase music and videos for our iPo
ds, just like the rest of the world? That would be even more interesting than j
ust having an iPhone.
