Apple positions itself between iPhone customers and the networks.

From The Register... "we learn that networks who partner with Apple must install Apple gear at the data centre to support its services - specifically, the Push Notification service that wakes up the Jesus Phone.

The analyst outfit describes the iPhone as a potential "poison" for the networks."
