The analyst group maintains that "not one" provider offering the iPhone has seen a financial or market share boost since adding it to their rosters. In many cases, these companies have either seen reduced profit from the heavy subsidies needed for the iPhone or h... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/17/carriers.hurt.by.iphone/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/26/teliasonera.1st.4g.site/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/teliasonera.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />TeliaSonera has become the first carrier to set up a commercial-ready 4G site based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. Located in Stockholm, Sweden, the tower is part of a larger network that will be ready in 2010 and promises much faster Internet than 3G.

The agreement will bring new competition with TeliaSonera, the only company that offered the handsets in Scandinavia until now. Apple was expected to offer the iPhone solely through TeliaSonera in the area, although both carriers initially expressed interest in the phon... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/20/telenor.iphone.deal/ Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/15/teliasonera.first.with.4g/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/teliasonera.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />TeliaSonera announced on Thursday it expects to become the first wireless provider in the world to offer the next-generation 4G mobile broadband network to its customers.

MMS is used on many cellphones to send photos and videos, but despite its commonality as a format, the technology has been left off of the iPhone in favor of e-mail and third-party applications. Some form of MMS is slated to arrive within the next two months, says Telia's Bengt Olsson. ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/19/teliasonera.mms.for.iphone/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/25/turkish.iphone.on.sept.26/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/iphone3g-white.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Though having confirmed in mid-August that it would carry the iPhone, Turkcell has only just announced that the phone is to launch in Turkey tomorrow, September 26th.
