Did we make a mistake and switch Verizon for ATT?
One of the mistakes ATT also made was touting their coverage.
What the ads did say but in very small print was that they were
talking global coverage.
Verizon has a much bigger footprint in the US than ATT but they have
done that by shedding their landline business and concentrating on
Cellular service.
Verizon also would not capitulate to Apple demands in carrying the Iphone.
ATT is laughing all the way to the bank as they are gaining customers
due to the Iphone, but now they have to build out the network for
it. Kind of the opposite way it should have been done.
Also what will happen to ATT when they loose their exclusive
deal? Will customers flock to other carriers to get better coverage?

I have read that the big problem at Verizon was that they did not
anticipate how much more traffic would be generated by iPhones and
they have been playing catch up ever since.
I hear that Verizon's latest buildout has significantly improved
things in some areas that previously had poor service.
What makes you think that ATT will hot now suffer the same capacity
problems that Verizon experienced? I bet that if the Driod turns out
to be anywhere near as successful as the iPhone then ATT will start to
suffer from the same capacity problems.
Also, Verizon is laughing all the way to the bank. A significant
portion of their revenues are attributed to the iPhone. They have the
cash and big incentive to continue to build out.
