What should Apple buy with their billions? A carrier.

As far as I’m concerned there is only one thing that could be totally game-changing for Apple’s main business, iOS devices, at this point: total freedom from the carriers. The only way to ensure this is for Apple to create its own carrier. A carrier that serves iOS devices with an always-on data connection that allows them to take advantage of their features in a way that the current carrier system never could.

Interesting POV, though A) A little oversimplified, and B) I would guess Google would make that jump before Apple would. That being said I’ve often wondered if one were interested in creating a new (read: “technologically modern”) carrier, whether the economics would be better to buy a current carrier and strip down the parts they don’t need, or to build their own from the ground up sans all the legacy tech that carriers inevitably have to support.
