AT&T lowers price of iPhone 3GS

iPhone at $49 (isource.com) - Jan 10, 2011 

excerpt:

Which brings me to the point of AT&T. Like, I’ve said in previous posts, AT&T is doing this as a competitive edge agains Verizon. Want an iPhone but don’t want to spend a lot of money up front? Then AT&T is your only option.

If AT&T can hook you with a $50 iPhone, then they’ve got you signed to their service for two years, and that’s two years that Verizon can’t get your business.


Older post on rumors of AT&T's price drop (cultofmac.com) - Feb 24, 2009

excerpt:

On Monday, Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu said the price of carrier data plans, not iPhone hardware, has caused a slowdown in iPhone sales, opening the door for Sprint and T-Mobile to gain a foothold in the smartphone market.


In our daily lives, AT&T's 'behavior' is called poor sportsmanship. In certain industries it is called dumping because it was done by companies of a certain foreign country.
