Analyst: Vodafone to bring iPhone to Europe

With regard to Europe, Vodafone's 200 million subscriber base -- compared to AT&T's 61 million -- with broad country coverage and investment in advanced technologies make the carrier a promising fit for Apple, according to the analyst.

"Our sources indicate that a rebate or carrier subsidy for iPhone of $50-150 is under serious consideration," Wu wrote in a research note obtained by MacNN. "From AT&T's perspective, a rebate is a great marketing tool to entice a customer to sign up for 2-year voice and data plans which cost $75-100 per month, meaning $1800-2400 in 'guaranteed' bi-annual revenue.
