Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs initially wanted to create his own wireless network, rather than turn to existing carriers, according to John Stanton. Stanton is the chairman of venture capital outfit Trilogy Partners, and explains that he spent time with Jobs between 2005 and 2007. "He wanted to replace carriers," Stanton said at Monday's Law Seminars International event in Seattle. "He and I spent a lot of time talking about whether synthetically you could create a carrier using Wi-Fi spectrum. That was part of his vision."
