“Consumers will be harmed”

That was claim AT&T made while ending its attempted acquisition of T-Mobile USA in the face of increased FCC and DOJ opposition.In others news, MacRumors’ reported this morning that T-Mobile has tweaked a small portion of it’s network to provide 3G coverage to iPhone users.I can feel the pain already.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/onmarketing/2011/12/14/the-real-story-behind-apples-think-different-campaign/In an attempt to correct one of Isaacson’s many apathetic inaccuracies, Rob Stilton has provided his firsthand account of the Think Different campaign.

These are moral problems.
