AppleInsider reports Apple has apparently canceled plans to open a new customer support call center in Colorado Springs, due to the slowing economy and the significant improvements delivered by iPhone 2.1 which reduced Apple's support demands. Sources familiar with the plans reported that Apple had contracted with Volt Information Sciences to staff the call center, which in turn had arranged with 500 employees to begin training sessions on providing iPhone support. The project was canceled due to Economic conditions and improved quality of the product resulting in a reduced volume to the Support lines."
