And So It Begins Again…
Another summer iPhone announcement, another explosion in the press and blogosphere speculating whether AT&T’s network can handle the demand. While the carrier seemingly has taken the necessary steps to prepare for the onslaught of 3G iPhone users, no one seems truly confident that it will be enough, and one thing is certain - this iPhone launch will be watched with far greater scrutiny than the original, and all eyes will be on AT&T.
I must say I’m a bit nervous for AT&T. If history and repeats itself and users face more network outages after escaping the ubiquitously slow EDGE for the HSPA, will the carrier be able to bounce back? Will it keep the iPhone customers because of its monopoly, but also hold a tarnished reputation for poor quality of service and unhappy customers? I can only hope AT&T proves everyone wrong.
