Verizon Wireless plans to roll out MediaFLO service in spring 2007. (opinons please)
That was mentioned from the CTIA....
"The challenge with video today is the transport cost," says Robin Chan, associate director of video programming and business development at Verizon Wireless in Bedminster, N.J. "The beauty of MediaFlo is that it scales."
Chan says the company has yet to work out how it will migrate from its current V-Cast offerings on its cellular network to its MediaFlo services.
"We don't want a dog's breakfast of services," he says.

Chances are I would not be interested in that. Verizon has a way of taking cool stuff and making it lame. I'm with verizon for their quality voice service they are not good for much else IMO. When another carrier steps up and matches their network and provides better content I will be the first to bail on them 🙂

i see that i am very tired from my trip.. lol..
i dont think they will do that well becuase verizon is more of a voice provider and not a data/content provider.

That network is T-Mobile. I know your probably saying to yourself "yeah right", but look at the independent awards they are winning for call quality, non dropped calls and customer service. I live in California and T-Mobile is rated higher in all aspects for the west coast.

Sprint is all over the map with four different technologies, Cingular/SBC/AT&T is a train wreck unfolding before all of our eyes and Verizon is doing a hell of a job marketing and getting people to but into their "program". I really wonder though how many people are happy with their crippled bluetoothed phones and lame-ass V-Cast?
