I think it's a little misleading to judge carriers and phone manufacturers by open source standards. Although open source standards often promote innovation and bring value to the market because of the service oriented industries that pop up based on them I don't see the same kind of thing happening for phones. So tighter control is not necessarily a bad thing.

It is a bad thing, any enterprise that wants to deploy their own android software to device they paid for now has to choose a different carrier than AT and T..

Its why Enterprises do not use iPhone in the first place..

Do you have some figures about iPhone and Android usage within 'Enterprises'? Please share!

The iPhone can be turned into a boring and controlled device for soul destroying enterprises. Have a read of this:

And despair that large organisations hire people who can't be trusted with a web browser on their phone.
