Yea, Verizon likes to cut checks without really thinking of what they are doing while companies like T-mobile and others need to think closely and careful of how they are spending dollars. Verizon’s MHz per pop is very high while T-mobile’s is very low. You can see how they vary by strategic purchases and just writing blank checks.
You can also see that Verizon likes to go into anything and if they have a backfire like that mistake you mentioned, it won’t hurt them, but to a company like T-mobile it will. Both very interesting business models and strategies but usually the company with the least costs should win out eventually. That is why I like T-mobile and dislike Verizon. I won’t complain, however, of Verizon’s cash flows and its generous gifts to us investors in payments of dividends and share buy backs.
