Why Not Just Sell VZW Too?
I don't understand why RS just doesn't sell VZW and keep TMO as well? Choice is good, BB does it.
And this has nothing to do with who's got a better signal, what phones they carry or whose going to merge with whom. It does have to do with who can muscle whom off their shelves.

Why both? If the TMo merger with ATT goes through, it wont matter. You also have to realize that 4300 stores are equipped to sell 3 carriers not 4 and that it would be alot of money for RS to convert for a fourth carrier when TMO may not be in business in 6 months.

The breach of contract came in Q4 of 2010. Part of the breach that i know of as a RS MNGR and stockholder was due to shorting RS on devices while making sure other retailers had more. Even the Target mobile which is RS also when Nov - January with very few shipments while other brands kept us fully supplied with new and old devices during that time

Due to previous contracts with other wireless providers in the stores, they can only carry three post-paid carriers.

I am surprised no one got this right. geeksrule almost got it right. And Bestbuy doesn't sell all 4 carriers in the stores. They only sell 3 in a store at a time.
Its due to the contract the companies sign with Verizon. Verizon's contract only allows the company to sell two other post paid carriers.
If you were RS would you rather sell t-mobile who has been losing customers for the past few quarters or Verizon who has been adding tons of customers for the past few years?
