But in these states "iPhone rebels" simply violate AT&T's contract and surf the networks of AT&T's wireless partners. "We will spot that very quickly," an AT&T spokesman insists, adding they would then "most likely" terminate that person's service. But other users simply open a P.O.

Since this goes against Einstein's special theory of relativity, you can expect a lot of people to dismiss this as rubbish."
