The company that gets paid to activate iPhones for at&t claims huge losses due to iPhones purchased but not activated by them... and the flight from at&t continues.

I was talking to guy this weekend that works in China a lot. One guy that works with him buys 5 iPhones a day when he's the US and takes them back. Last time he took back 25 of them.
This seems to be a far larger practice than even I had imagined. It's nearly impossible to keep people away from what they want... the market always wins.
