T&A: Reuters made a report on a study showing that telecom operators who secured exclusive deals to sell the Apple iPhone in their home countries may have paid too high a price from the heavy subsidies they shell out to secure subscribers.
Strand Consult, a research firm which conducted the study, claimed that not one single telecom operator has seen an increase in market share, revenue or earnings from selling the iPhone.
The report also mentioned SingTel, the exclusive distributor of the iPhone in Singapore, where it has reported falling profits due to iPhone launches.
There’s also some foreshadowing in the study where other handset manufacturers are catching up with Apple as their new models begin to function and feel similar to the original 2007 iPhone.
