Implications: Apple's effort to limit and restrict iPhone users to subscribe solely to AT&T's wireless phone service backfires.

Analysis: Consumers do not like to have restrictions placed in a free market society; ultimately finding ways to unravel and release the strong hold forced upon them.  The staggering numbers of un-accounted AT&T subscribers demonstrate consumers efforts to release the bounds Apple tried to put upon users of the iPhone.
