2. If broadcasters build their own 2-way net, then you need to wonder whether the telcos' cell phones will tune to those broadcaster freqs. You go on and on about iPhones changing everything, but can your AT&T iPhone use the Verizon cell network? Who kept iPhones away from Verizon nets for so long? Was it really Apple? Hah! The cellcos do retain control.

Apparently Verizon refused to take the deal Apple was offering, in large part because of the cost and the loss of control. AT&T took the deal.
