Apple could open iPhone to other mobile service providers

Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer has stated that the company is not exactly wedded to their current concept of collaborating with a single mobile service provider to sell the Apple iPhone device.

He said: “We’re not wedded to any one particular way to go to market. Our objective is to drive scale and take market share. We’re going to enter more European countries this year, and Asia, and we remain very confident about our goal of reaching 10 million iPhones shipped in 2008.”

The company aims to sell 10 million units of iPhone in the current year and they might have to expand the modes of sales of iPhone to achieve that target.

Incidentally, Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook had said something on the similar lines recently.

Looks like the company could soon offer an alternative way of selling iPhone to interested customers.
