Steve Jobs dishes out *free* iPhones to employees

On the eve of the iPhone launch, Steve announced that all full-time employees will get a complimentary iPhone for their service and dedication. Yeah! but it does not come with complimentary service plan from AT&T :) Now thats another business opportunity isn't it? 18,000 AT&T customers, thats a cool million every month from Apple, of course, part of the revenue does flow back to Apple in two forms, one when the customer signs up for a plan for the iPhone and also from the monthly revenue that the customer generates for AT&T.

It will cost Apple a theoretical $10.8 million for the iPhones. Ultimately its going to recover most of it from AT&T and AT&T from the employees.

Now thats Business i2.0 (complex number :-D)
