In last year’s third calendar quarter earnings call (October 20, 2009) Tim Cook was asked:
“So when you go from exclusive to multiple, you don’t change the charge to the carrier?”
Cook answered: “Correct.”
In this year’s third calendar quarter earnings call (October 18, 2010) Tim Cook was asked again whether the future iPhone non-exclusive subsidy will affect the iPhone revenues and again Tim Cook repeated that it won’t.

And what is your experience then when you’ve gone non-exclusive from a subsidy and margin standpoint on the phone, have you had to give anything up in the past?
