Russian Carrier On Apple?s High iPhone Pricing: ?They?re In Dictatorship Mode?

The iPhone, while highly subsidized here in the U.S., can still feel pricey. Most Apple products are. But in Russia, where there isn't the same long-term commitment/subsidy pricing, the iPhone costs upwards of $1,000. And the country's largest mobile service provider, OAOMobile TeleSystems (MTS), isn't happy about it. "They're more in a dictatorship mode where they say, 'This is what you have to do or you don't get the iPhone,'" said MTS' VP of marketing Vasyl Latsanych. "Being arrogant with your partners in big markets doesn't pay off."
