Thats exactly why apple wont do it, its completely different businesses and they dont have any of the infrastructure set up for a telecom so its not like they will be able to do it better than its already being done. Apple's goal has always been to do a few things and do them extremely well, they arent going to start branching out into completely new businesses. Thats more of a google strategy.
I agree that Apple will not go and start their own telecom but I do see the strategy of Apple
acquiring a telecom. Company's evolve and diversify all the time and going that route is a valid diversification play IMO.
Probably won't happen but if it will, remember who argued for it
