Vodafone Won one Battle but Lost the War
Posted by: Sierra in Apple, T-Mobile, Vodafone

“Good news from T-Mobile!” or better said “Good news for T-Mobile!” because the German court has granted the telecommunications company the exclusiveness to sell the iPhone in this country.
So get ready to say “bye bye!” to the unlocked and expensive devices!
Apple is finally happy that its strategy of selling the iPhone through only one operator in each country has succeeded.
Vodafone has won for a short period of time by obtaining a restriction order for the rival company that was obligated to stop selling locked iPhones.
Klaus Czerwinski, a spokesperson from T-Mobile was happy to declare:
"We are just happy that our opinion is confirmed that this is legal. We still think it is best for the customer."
"From the outset, the intention was ensure clarity on the commercial position in the German marketplace. Vodafone does not believe that the pricing model is in the best interests of the German consumer," added Czerwinski.
