AT&T won’t sell iPhones to business accounts

Posted Monday, 18 June 2007, 15:13 HST @967

According to Apple Insider, AT&T (T) will not sell iPhones to business customers.

Repeat after me: “The iPhone is not a business phone”

To buy an iPhone, a customer must open an “account with individual responsibility”. There’s a very good reason for this policy: Apple (APPL) wants to get the iPhone on the street, not into corporate offices. No word on how long the business ban will last, but this report does support my statement from June 17.

UPDATE 19 JUNE 14:45 HT: Thanks to iPhone Matters: the Wall Street Journal ran a story in today’s edition on how many companies are handling their employees’ requests for an iPhone. The usual answer: No iPhone for you!
