This is a scandal! As Fred Wilson describes here: http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/2007/09/att...AT&T only allows people with bad credit to buy prepaid iPhone plans, letting them out of the two year contract requirement that they foist upon the rest of us. Fred thinks this is discrimination against people with good credit, and probably illegal.
Once a monopolist, always a monopolist. I say it's time for an uprising!
