I'm not even trying to be funny when I say this.

I'm not 100% sure how accurate this list is, but this is a list of the carriers for the "Obama phones". This isn't even speculation at all, so no need to run with this. Though if for some reason this ended up being true, yeah people would bash this, but in 2012 this market was paid 1.75 Billion by the U.S. Government. I'm not sure at the moment what is spent now by the Government.
Again, just random thoughts, nothing to back this at all.
