Why Are iPhone Users Entitled to FREE WiFi?

Posted: October 29th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: VoIP Commentary | 3 Comments »

What is so special about the iPhone that it’s users get free WiFi while other handset users who have WiFi enabled devices need to pay?

I am an iPhone user, so I’m not going to complain, but I just can’t wrap my head around why an iPhone user is entitled to free WiFi when someone using a Nokia isn’t. I mean, if you have any WiFi enabled device and you pay for AT&T data plans, shouldn’t you get WiFi for free too? The iPhone is cool and it does have a great browsing experience, but it is not that far away from a lot of other handsets out there. Is it just because it was the first handset to emphasize internet over voice and now everyone sort of expects it?

Man, Apple is good.

    I’m still wondering when a SIP phone application will be released in the Appstore and if it is released, will it be blocked on AT&T’s free wifi?
