Verizon Asks Vodafone To Sell Back Stake

In the case of Verizon possibly buying out Vodafone seems like a longshot. I don't see it happening, but as people mentioned, anything's possible. For Vodafone being GSM & Verizon being CDMA, if Verizon acquired Vodafone today, they might invest in CDMA in countries where CDMA is already being used in countries that Vodafone is already in, but would have no choice, but to use GSM in the European Union as that is the only digital standard used in that part of Europe. But something like that might allow Verizon Wireless to expand their CDMA/GSM handset lineup to include phones from Motorola & maybe Nokia for world travelers. For those users, they would want a better selection than the current Samsung phones that Verizon Wireless has now.
