Wow interesting article. Knowing Verizon, I can see this happening, but it could be a good thing. Not saying it is, but well guess we will see come July 28th.

I wouldn't put anything passed the prospect of making money. VZW has a lot of pull it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Nice article Stief. I don't think RIM would put all of their eggs in one basket but VZW does have the best network. I guess time will tell.

Apple would be dumb not to bring their phone over to VZW when their contract expires with AT&T. An amazing multimedia device coupled with a fantastic carrier is a match made in heaven for consumers.

AT&T would be trembling in there feet. They experience so many dropped calls and out of area signals, with verizon hopefully that will not be the case with such a large network.
