Carriers must hate this. The SIM card which had always been the most precious piece of equipment for them, connecting subscribers and all their data, billing info to their systems, is no longer their monopoly. With that move, Apple can now establish a position where it can broker relationships with carriers as opposed to the other way around. And eventually could end up acting as its own carrier.
