米Sprintを苦しめるiPhone販売助成金=業界標準より40%も高額

iPhone 4Sの取り扱いを開始した米国第3位の携帯キャリアSprintだが、iPhone販売とネットワークの大幅増強のために、新たに約70億ドルの融資が必要となり、今後4年間でいえば総額150億ドルにおよぶ投資が必要になるという(AppleInsider)。

iPhoneの販売助成金は通常のスマートフォン標準より1台あたり200ドルも高額な約500ドルで、率にすると40%も高くつくのだという。Sprintは今後4年間に155億ドルもの大金をAppleへ支払うことになる。
しかし、SprintはiPhoneをラインアップに加えることで、新規契約が増えて70〜80億ドルの収益があると見積もっている。アナリストはこの試算に懐疑的であり、目標を満たすには会社全体をAppleショップに変える必要があるほどだと指摘している。
