Apple will soon provide wireless service directly to the millions of iPhones and iPads already in the marketplace. Apple already has the distribution channels and customer base needed to make the move, according to Whitey Bluestein, a Veteran wireless industry analyst. They currently have approximately 250 million credit cards already on file, which would make billing for the wireless service hassle free.

"What has been holding Apple back from becoming a wireless provider already," according to Bluestein, "are the enormous handset subsidies paid by mobile operators (AT&T, VZW and Sprint in the US), which amount to about $381 for each iPhone sold today," Bluestein noted. "That has been a short-term stumbling block for Apple, but the company has its well-known cash reserves and could seize the initiative at any point."
