Why Motorola's ROKR iTunes phone is "delayed"

By Peter Rojas

So why did Motorola scrap the launch of the
ROKR iTunes phone last week? Scott Moritz over at The Street talks about the dirty little secret about putting iTunes on cellphones: the carriers totally aren't feeling it. Why? Because they want to be the ones selling music downloads to their subscribers, not Apple, and so a phone that plugs directly into the iTunes Music Store totally cuts them out of that revenue stream.
