Apple is running ahead of of the tech. curve with new devices and new Ipad is not going to make it anything more easy for them. They are between the hard place & rock, telecom operators - there is no choice but to respond for consumers requirements no matter it takes years before those investments pays anything back. On the other hand it boost the network traffic which brings extra coins for them but this isn´t very profitable for them for times but just "must to do" issues because without they would start loosing customers for competitors. Apple is holding the cards and they do not leave much for operators who should try to find something additional "niche" to generate extra cashflow.
