Just be glad that it's brought to Jobs' attention, his device is supposed to change the world, not only change the US. If that communications company is gonna charge "unfair" rates then that might stunt Jobs' product. And if he thinks that those rates will do that then he has the ability to really hurt that company. That company knows that ppl are itching to get the iPhone and if Jobs' pulls the plug on them, they could lose a sum of money. Therefore, Jobs > Rogers Communications.
That's a fair point INTEL (can I call you INTEL?) but what what most people are forgetting to realise is that all of the carriers in the world existed and have been making a shed load of money well before Apple introduced the iPhone to the market.
For however many people will get or want the iPhone there will be and are several times as many people happy with other handsets. Without the iPhone the mobile communications market will continue to thrive as it has done so since mobile phones were brought to the mass-consumer.
Whether the iPhone sells successfully or not, or even if 'Jobs' pulls the plug on them', the carriers' businesses aren't really affected. If someone wants/needs a phone they will get a phone, iPhone or not, the carriers still get to sell their monthly plans and they still make money.
Sure they would see an increase in profits with the iPhone, but without it they certainly wouldn't incur any losses. Unless the carriers have to pay Apple for the handsets in bulk prior to selling them on. In which case, if they are charging outrageous prices for their monthly plans and the iPhones aren't selling, it's in their own interests to lower their prices.
All of these factors don't really have anything to do with Apple directly.
Which brings me back to my original point that complaining to the handset makers about extortionate carrier charges is pointless and that Steve doesn't have any great power in this particular market.
