But Apple could even be mobile operators

The computer company Apple may yet even become a wireless service provider. Of this at least is Whitey Bluestein , a veteran of the industry in the U.S. and long-time strategic advisor to network operators from. Even Google could join later.

“Will conclude in the foreseeable future, Apple’s wholesale contracts with one or more mobile operators so that Apple can then mobile contracts market yourself directly to its customers,” Bluestein said, according to a report of ‘ XBitLabs ‘on the industry conference information MVNO in Barcelona.

The expert believes that the Group will distribute once data plans for iPad customers. The next step could then follow further deals with telephony and roaming options for iPhone users. For the industry, so Bluestein, this could be because of Apple’s market power have far-reaching consequences.

Because Apple has all the important elements to become the largest virtual network operator in the world. This form of mobile phone companies do not have their own infrastructure, but in other capacities to hire and bundle them into their own tariffs. The relevant offers, Apple could probably sell very successfully – because the company would have the ability to tailor it very specifically to the needs of the users of its devices – which manages the network operators themselves barely.

In addition, according to Bluestein, that Apple’s most powerful brand, customer contacts to 250 million iTunes accounts and the 363 Apple stores worldwide may lead to the field. And in the background – it comes with features such as the required patents – the Group is well placed.

According to Bluestein Apple would go a further step on a path that one has already received the first contract with AT & T in the U.S.: The relationship between the customer and the participating companies is changing fundamentally. While the user ahead of any mobile operator customers felt that they also put an end device available, they are now booking the equipment manufacturer customers and help to any vendor or the wireless connection.

The network operators would be forced by Apple’s own mobile phone tariffs in the final part of a simple infrastructure manager. If the company is successful in Google would be forced to follow suit eventually, according to Bluestein.
