This is 2003 all over for Verizon Wireless and they did the same thing when the launched Push to Talk with Nextel. Verizon ads were all about the bigger push to talk coverage are compared to Nextel. This was true, but with most people needing or using push to talk were already covered by Nextel, and their service was much better in the push to talk category. In the end I think Verizon was the one that got burned.


VZW at this point (Nov 2009) does have more of its towers transmitting EV-DO Rev. A ready than AT&T's WCDMA (HDPA) network.

Bottom line is this is an Ad gimmick on VZW's part. Will they get burned time will only tell. 😉
