Sprint filing reiterates huge price paid for the Apple iPhone, big profit still expected

I seriously doubt that Apple is giving VZW and AT&T a break of up to $200 per device. Sprint is losing money on this proposition because they aren't recovering it in subscriber fees, because they are trying to be a "lower cost" competitor (which has been hampering revenues)...so I see plenty of revenue to Sprint, but I can't help but think there will be plenty of red ink as well...

Every product has to plateau. Those numbers are if people continue to pursue an iPhone and as we see there is strong competition coming from several OS'. Of course only time will tell but this is a very risky move by Sprint. And if it works for Sprint this would be a great move by Dan Hesse.

I thought the throttling had to do with roaming. My friend just called me yesterday and told me how he has no service with Verizon, but his Sprint roaming is working fine. Who cares about throttling, when the other choices are always worse.
