Exclusive iPhone Deal Could Be Illegal in Australia

The release of Apple's iPhone in Australia this year could be illegal under the country's competition laws, say Queensland University of Technology law researchers. Cellular News reports.

"Mr Clapperton said Apple's plans for releasing the iPhone in Australia had not yet been publicly announced but if its US marketing strategy were adopted in Australia, it would likely be prohibited by the Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA) provision dealing with third-line forcing."
