AT&T to Steve: MMS uses spectrum that's more valuable than what we charge for it. Include it in your phone, and we'll lower your subsidy.
Engineering staff to Steve: We tested MMS. The power envelop and/or EMI/RFI emissions are a little out of spec. Plus there's a potential security hole. We could fix it in a few weeks or ship now.
Steve: Ship now. Put that extra AT&T subsidy into future profits.
Staff to Steve: We could use gesture A for pinch, zoom and scroll, or for selecting for cut and paste. Marketing says the wow advertising for pinch and zoom will sell 5M more phones, but leaving out cut & paste will cause kids who have already given us their money to complain. What should we do?
Steve: Ask any more stupid question and you're fired.
