Orange, T-Mobile and Voda splitting revenue with Apple
There have been tough negociations to decide who will be allowed to sell the iPhone in France, Germany and UK. Happy winners are Voda, T-Mobile and Orange. What is pretty awesome is that it’s rumored that operators wil share with apple 10% of the revenue coming from voice and text-messages ! This is a first and I’m not sure how operators can adjust their business model to that. Although sharing data revenue is something they’ve been doing before, sharing core voice revenue with a terminal manufacturer opens up a pretty nice breach.
