Carriers blame the iPhone for data caps and increased upgrade fees

. “Bruised” mobile carriers such as AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) are “fighting back” against Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, despite the fact that the device has helped them eke out consistently higher average revenue per wireless subscribers since its launch, The Wall Street Journal reports.
