This is the real world, and companies have rights to negotiate favorable deals with each other to reduce risk and achieve better predictability in their sales. So what if Jimmy's CellFoneHut can't compete with Verizon and AT&T - if this RCA group is really so excited about getting access to the hottest phones, then they should suck it up and sign the exclusivity deals as a bulk buyer and lock out the major operators. To say that Apple or Motorola or whatever should be legally barred from signing long-term, stable, low-risk contracts is unreasonable, and no operator will sign such contracts unless they get something out of it also.
