But would it matter much to Apple that they're dealing with companies with different names? Even if they had gone with Orange in the UK, they'd still have had to negotiate with Orange UK rather than Orange France.
I wish they
had gone with Orange, or at least, anyone other than O2. O2 is the network of choice for lorry drivers and pubescent teens. They're cheap and tacky, and headquartered in Slough, which says all you need to know about them.
And their data plans, to the extent that they exist at all, are horrendously overpriced. I can't imagine there is much overlap in the alpha-geek/iPhone demographic and the O2 demographic, but I guess that's what O2 wants to change.
