Quote: "the iPhone goes against the “walled garden” doctrine of major U.S. carriers, in particular Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. They have zealously defined interaction with the customer as their prerogative, to the exclusion of handset makers and software providers like Microsoft Corp. It's true of most European carriers too."

You gotta love disruptive technologies like this..  unless you're Verizon, Sprint Nextel and European carriers of course. Power to the apple.  :)
