Verizon Hops On The "A" Train
OF COURSE THEY WOULD

Very true… same thing with push to talk.
And when did Sprint roll out it's EVDO again? oh... and when did Verizon? riiiiiiiiight
1. with push to talk (Nextel obviously)
2. This time with REV A, that Sprint already outlined.
By the way, Verizon rolled out DO REV o earlier but so what? Look how they are doing now? Lol. They won’t even outline their subscriber additions like Sprint does. In 90 days or so of Sprint’s service coming out they have more then 750k subscribers, but I am betting Verizon has less than that. Verizon will never be good with Data.
Well b/c Verizon is not the innovator. They use the proven technology (formula) and make then much better.
If you think its wrong from the stand point of consumers, why do Verizon still have sh!t load of more customer than Sprint or Nextel combine? 🤣
By the way, as mentioned before, that isnt bad to copy other carriers if it is working out, but the problem is, verizon lacks in data and always will.
For one of these huge companies to "copy" one another would indicate that the technology or idea was theirs to begin with. EVDO, Rev-A, Push2Talk, MediaFlo, LBS... all the exciting new cell tech isnt being developed by the carriers. They simply pick tech they want to go with developed by the likes of Qualcomm, Lucent, or Motorola.
In addition, Rev A was ANNOUNCED by Sprint 1st... neither has actually launched a darn thing yet... I know for a fact that he decision to use RevA was made by VZW a long time before Sprint announced their plans. Just because a company decides to hold off on announcing or launching a product doesn't mean their "copy...

Anyway, Sprint actually had the plans in the works before Verizon had plans to do it, but that’s ok if you say it since you have no idea. 🙂 Sprint will be launching it because they have already contacted Novatel and Sierra to start shipping REV A capable cards very soon.
Lastly, stop making such a big deal over everything. You are starting to sound like Ruff and them. Stop copying them!!
🤣

Verizon lacks in data????? What!!???
Verizon has more data products that Sprint. Not to mention data service coverage...
They will also destroy Verizon when it comes to their choice with 4g data since they have ample spectrum in the MMDS band that Verizon would dream about getting.
EV-DO Rev A Gains Steam
Although EV-DO is relatively new to the U.S. market, operators already are looking ahead to Revision A and the new applications that it makes possible.

MIAMI–It's been 10 years since CDMA first made its technology debut in Hong Kong, when Hutchison Telecom commercially launched the service in September 1995. At that time, voice capacity was a big priority for wireless operators, and CDMA promised operators many spectrum efficiencies.

Good question, I think it is because Verizon attracts the people who don’t really pay a lot of money for their voice or data services while Nextel and Sprint do and they attract the most valued customers in the industry, which is represented by lifetime revenue per user. The only good thing Verizon has is coverage and that is it, while Sprint and Nextel have one of the best products in the business with data, ok with coverage (they will be better when Nextel and Sprint combine assets), plans, and products. So I would rather take that then take Verizon where the only good thing ...
