Apple's iPhone: Calling Europe or Europe Calling?

Apple needs little introduction. After the launch of the highly successful iPod in 2001, Apple has been on an aggressive growth path. In 2007, Apple declared that they would once again change yet another industry - mobile telephony - with the iPhone. The case is set as of 9 November 2007 on the morning that the iPhone is released in the UK with Telefonica's O2. Students must determine whether the deal will prove advantageous to Telefonica's O2 and the longer-term effects on the industry structure. Watch Professor Sandra Sieber talking about the learning objectives of this case.
