Some empty minutes, then "white wireless broadband spots".
The second half the more sexy "exclusivity" gone from 30-90 days to 5 year, protective balkanization and isolationism, the old Carter phone syndrome and dilemma,etc.etc.
The most interesting obviously all the things which are not said, plus the (domestic) witnesses that did not appear (Apple, Verizon, etc and why not also Qualcomm/Korean manfctrs)
The ATT guy, slightly nervous, does a good job of not directly mentioning nor descrbing the invisible elephants in the room.
Note, the video exclusively in non-Apple flash!
