Sure, but now phones generate other revenue than just the service contract. You don't think phone manufacturers would want some of that?


They want it, but they're not going to get it. In any case, for the time being, app store revenue is minimal compared to device revenue; last year the whole sector took under 2 billion dollars in sales globally, only a third (less sales taxes etc. in some cases) goes to the operator.
