Extra workers for iPhone launch
p2pnet.net news:- Apple and friends are girding their loins for June 29, a date they hope will mark a major sales event.
AT&T, the exclusive iPhone company, says it’s temporarily hired 2,000 extra store workers to handle the media-hyped launch.
There are, however, problems for potential buyers, the two most important being:
- To use the phones, they’ll be forced to open accounts with iTunes; and,
- They’ll have to sign two-year contracts with AT&T, which hasn’t yet made a price of its service fees available.
Meanwhile, iPhones will cost either $500 or $600, depending on storage capacity.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
