Orange, Apple Nail Deal for France iPhone Sales


After what appears to be a delay caused by commercial disagreements, Orange and Apple have settled on a deal whereby Orange is the exclusive distributor of the iPhone in France.

There is no public word on how the original deal might have been modified.
