Havingno special fav carrier I could care less bout everyone.Being on T-mobile right now.how embarassing for them. Sprint was a lil late to the evdo party versus vzw but There are pushingthe envolope right now. Cingular and T-mobile have not even got there feet wet yet I feel bad for the GSM strandard and people working behind the scene. But This will hopefully force some prices down if they can fully realize and capitlize on the market. Catching everyone off garud while they firgure how they themselves want to proceed is pretty sneaky. If vzw doesn't followsuit we will have one less cdma provider. This will be interesting I hope they do it Wimaxis interesting glad someone is pulling the trigger.

It is very difficult to upgrade to 3g without having the associated spectrum to do so.

If I'm reading that correctly you're saying this would put verizon under? I'm thinking no. They are pretty much here to stay especially since most people don't use their phones for data and things like that. Hell, most people with camera phones don't send pictures back and forth to other phones so even if sprint has an incredible data service and verizon has the network that they have now, wich is about the best that I've seen in my neck of the woods, I think verizon will be more than ok. And I really don't see sprint trying to buy verizon if that's where you were going.

This whole deal sounds sweet though.

No. That would be China Mobile with over 200 million subscribers (wow).

If you add in churn (or turnover), Vodafone is considered number one. If you don't, you get China Mobile as number one.

You're drastically underestimating Verizon's prominence and resources.

Hey muchdrama,

I've always wondered what the deal between you and Nextel18 is. You always make fun of him (and always make me laugh) but I haven't been looking at this website for long enough to know why it all started.

It all started with him antagonizing this entire board with erroneous statements. When confronted about his serious grammar problems and overall ineptitude in regards to the industry, he just kept on keeping on...driving people crazy. He's since calmed down and has made a serious attempt at getting his facts straight...which isn't often.

Oh, in all fairness, I think you should forget our entire conversation and dedicate your list to explaining 10 truly important items. Nextel18 is surely not one of them.

He does not like educated people who have knowledge in this industry and because of that he tries to find some kind of flaw with the statement either grammar or spelling issues. I ignored him a while ago because of that.

I wouldn't necessarily use the word "educated" in any of your posts...you could burst into flames.

And wouldn't that be something.
