AT&T wouldn't be half the carrier they are now without 3 1/2 years of iPhone exclusivity. Verizon would have stayed number 1 all the way through, and we would be stuck with Windows Mobile and Blackberry.
T-Mobile would have been out the door and Sprint would be clinging for dear life if not already dead.
If Apple had embraced IEEE standards, WiMAX could have been king of "4G".
Frankly though, I don't think Apple is in bed with wireless operators, but more like they control them, that's why there wasn't a WiMAX equipped iPhone.
