iPhone could finally reach Vermont

BURLINGTON, Vt. - Vermonters may get to take advantage of Apple’s iPhone after all.

The Federal Communications Commission’s approval of Verizon Wireless’ $2.67 billion buyout of Unicel may make that possible.

The deal includes a condition that Unicel’s assets in Vermont be sold to another company to ensure competition, opening the door for AT&T to come to the state and offer access to Apple’s iPhone.

The iPhone is a cross between another of Apple’s industry-changing devices, the iPod, and a cell phone.

The Vermont Telecommunications Authority says Vermonters will be able to purchase an iPhone in a few months.
