Screw AT&T

This article talks about how Google, eBay and Amazon might just start their own network. It mentions that Google has the cash in the bank to do it too. Having drunk the Mac kool-aid it made me wonder if Apple had that much cash as well (they appear to) there have been rumors about them getting into the wireless phone space and they were building out a data center, what if they were to build out WiMax (or the like) that would work easily with Macs, iPods (upgrade those puppies) and iPhone. They could even do it along the lines of a .Mac deal where $250 a year would get you a .Mac account and a connection to it. You could buy music directly from your iPod. Of course this would be a huge differentiator for Apple's product line and boost it core business of selling hardware while offering a new revenue line via services. I'm just saying.
