- Seattle Times interviews AT&T point man for iPhone
Filed under: iPhone
Tech blogger and writer for the Seattle Times Brier Dudley did an interesting interview with Glenn Lurie, AT&T Mobility's president of national distribution. Lurie, it turns out, is the lead operations guy for AT&T's development and rollout of some wacky new cellphone that folks are all hot and bothered about.
Lurie's experience with the iPhone engineering process (he's packing one, just so you know, but no pictures please or he'll need to have you killed) and Apple's laserlike focus on the customer experience has made him, shall we say, mildly optimistic about the prospects for the device: "The anticipation that we're seeing, the buzz we're seeing, at least for me, has far exceeded our expectations of how important this would be to the business and us." He also addresses the pricing conundrum of the iPhone by pointing out that when you add the $200 cost of an iPod Nano (the most popular model) to a standard $200 smartphone and a free-to-$50 regular phone, you're approaching the 4GB iPhone price.
Dudley posted some outtakes from the interview on his blog; most interesting question concerned streaming music. From a network perspective, Lurie says that AT&T can support it; however, the iPhone "being launched is not that, that's not where we're going." Local sync only for music, as expected.
