Obviously, there is also no doubt at AT&T who have been burnt with the first generation iPhone. According to an internal note issued by the company, the employees are more than are highly encouraged to ensure that there is total activation of the iPhone at the store, which implies that the customer subscribes to a subscription and provides all the necessary paperwork.
Of course, under this new regime, it will greatly increase the time needed for each purchase. AT&T thus strongly encourages its employees to take a heavy load of overtime during the launching phase.
Note that to simplify the task, Apple provided to AT&T a version of iTunes that has been simplified to make only the activation of the iPhone.
