T-Mobile may emerge as big winner in Europe
If the Financial Times is correct, then German mobile firm T-Mobile will be awarded the rights to sell the iPhone in Five European countries this week.
The company was already said to be providing iPhone service in Germany. Now, FT claims that T-Mobile will also be carrying the iPhone in Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Croatia.
The terms of the deal are similar to those previously reported for the iPhone. Apple will not only be making money from sales of the iPhone units, but will also pocket a ten percent cut of revenues from land-line and data transfer charges as well.
As for the rest of Europe, O2 still seems to be the UK provider of choice, while Orange has been said to be carrying the phone in France.
A final word will hopefully come tomorrow in London, when Apple is expected to break its silence and announce its final plans on an iPhone rollout.
