Stories like this in the NY Times make me want to beg Apple to drop all the cell network providers and just go out on their own. What gall to complain about “sleepless nights” when text messaging has been the biggest consumer rip-off in history and At&T counted their money with millions of iPhone activations instead of beefing up their infrastructure early on. It’s amazing...
