I’m sure when I speak, I don’t speak alone when I say — what’s taking at&t and Apple so long to bring the iPhone to business customers? Their initial and only public response was that they wanted to meet the needs of the retail market first. Give me a break!

The retail market has an ample supply of iphones and the price reduction yesterday from $599 to $399 gives CLEAR indication that supplies of the device are not tight. If at&t/Apple was serious about bringing the phone to the business market, then they would have introduced it prior to cutting price by 33%.  

In my situation, being a business customer with at&t, I get a discount on device purchases and monthly service. I can forego the discount on the device (that’s a one time hit), but I don’t want to make any commitment unless a get a to keep my discount on service (as this can quickly surpass cost of phone).  At this point, it seems like wishful thinking if you believe the iphone is coming to business customers anytime soon.

Steve/at&t, PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!
