Apple-Orange deal could turn into a Lemon
Apple's single-carrier policy seems to be running afoul of more than just hackers. The decision to lock the iPhone to Orange may cost the company a chance at the French market.
If you can read French, Les Echos reports that the two companies may have to scuttle the planned iPhone launch due to a law which requires all carriers to offer phones both with and without contracts. This would, of course. significantly mess up Apple's uniformly sweet revenue-sharing deals with the iPhone's various American and European carriers. France may not get the iPhone this year, if at all.
