Apple Says ‘Jump’; Carriers Reply ‘How High?’

Mike Hibberd, Telecoms.com:

Apple is not allowing mobile operators to offer the iPhone 5 as an LTE device unless they pass the Californian vendor’s own, independent tests for LTE network performance, Swisscom has confirmed.

Telecoms.com was told of Apple’s policy in October but, at the time, no operator had conceded publicly that it was true.
