Well, that’s a lie—Twitter was around when previous travesties took place. Even still, it seems like my Twitter, Facebook and RSS feeds are full of iPhone 3G owners complaining about how they don’t qualify for the advertised pricing, and how, of course, it’s not fair! Also, they don’t want Billy playing in their sandbox because he tends to pee in the sand and steals their plastic shovel.
[…]To put it simply: AT&T fronted you some cash so it could boost subscribers. The stipulation of that little cash-push was that the user stick to a 2 year contract, because, ding-ding-ding, this is how AT&T makes money. iPhone users are not unique: any AT&T customer who purchased a subsidised phone recently is in the same boat. AT&T wants their money back in your monthly phone bill, and they won’t front you again until your 2 years are up.
