I'm not so sure that it wasn't more that Verizon and Apple wanted opposite ends of the control spectrum. They both wanted to control the platform, I don't know who walked or if AT&T wanted the same thing and blinked first. > So Apple approached ATT and ATT jumped at the deal > because they needed a way to bring more folks in. > (Sounds a lot like deceptive marketing to me). How much worse was AT&T's network that Verizon's at the iPhone intro? As I understand it, the iPhone eats data service like candy. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Whip me, beat me, make me write BASIC! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
