I've always thought this was true – i think it is an important insight

Was exaggerating a just a little to make my point. . well i agree the ratios are not close but I would have bought an iphone if it were on the verizon network. Same for my wife. Both of us use BlackBerries. I just wanted to say that there are people who would have loved to use the iphone but dont only because the ATT network stinks.

I don’t think your ratios are close / correct.

Satish, I agree with your point.
I hate Verizon but there reception is better most.
I would have immediately gone with iPhone 2 yrs ago if it was on V.

I've been using Comcast broadband for 12-15? yrs.
The speed into my home is terrible compared to V-wireless (vois) which many of my neighbors have.

I sure hope G shames Comcast into supplying faster service.

I believe we are ranked 15 globally in internet speed.
That is terrible considering it started here.
That is what happens when the gov't gives out exclusivity.

Dont you think for every one person who bought the iphone inspite of the ATT network there are 10 that did not buy the iphone because it was on the ATT network and stuck with a BB because they could get it on Verizon? Don't you think apple inspite of its neat hardware & software lost out on atleast 200-300% of its current iphone business by picking the wrong network?

So if you feel that the software is more important than the network I assume that you do not use your smartphones for anything WAP? How many times have you tried to watch a streaming video/audio on your mobile device and turned it off because of all of the buffering, stalls and pixelation? The software that allow users to use the video/audio are great but if the user experience is not enjoyable then the software doesnt matter.
Can I also make the assumption that all of your phones are only utilizing the different carriers 2G/Edge networks? Based on your opinion there is no need for all of these carriers to spend milions of dollars to move from 3G to 4G or heck why did they even move away from 2G. If you are happy with Edge/2G then dont take my bandwidth on the 3G network.
Billions of text messages are sent and received each day. Software enables users the ability to compose those messages on their devices. How popular would messaging be if there was no way to acutally send and receive those messages over a network. It would be a bunch of people using software to write messages on a device…. isnt that nothing more than a Palm PDA from the 90s.

Interesting. I’m going to ponder that for a little while. The hardware definitely matters – as does the network, but I think they are both still subordinate to the software. But something to chew on.

I cannot imagine a rational case for claiming that the network is more important than the software it enables.

I don't think so.
