...two years late, and 21 million units sold (according to the great Wiki) Washington finally catch on to this whole iPhone monopoly thing!

It should be as clear as crystal to everybody - if AT&T and O2 plus every other countries providers were in direct competition with other operators, the iPhone would be less than half the overall contract price it is today, and we wouldn't see stupid restrictions and extra costs levied on tethering and roaming!

Governments working for the common man? Possibly eventually.

So give it another couple of years and the EU might do the same...
