Jobs has very little control over this.

The future of free WiFi and pay WiMax depend to a large extent on the
alliance between Google and Sprint (Sprint itself has an alliance with
Intel, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung).

My bet is that at least one gPhone model will be WiMax capable, WiFi
capable, 3G capable (EVDO), and work on Sprint's CDMA network. Another
model will be GSM capable, and will be sold unlocked.

Google Maps and an integrated GPS are going to be awesome.

One of the reasons for the iPhone price cut was to try to get more
market penetration prior to the gPhone launch (if it's real!).
