The question turns to how it will alter the balance of power in the wireless world, especially between Verizon and AT&T. The latter, of course, will lose its nearly 4 years of iPhone exclusivity with Verizon planning to launch a 3G version of the Apple device next month.
I can tell you that as an AT&T customer, I've been awaiting this day for awhile. Not because I want to jump ship to Verizon, but because AT&T always says the iPhone connectivity issues are due to crowded bandwidth. Well, hopefully this is like an overcrowded freeway, and now everyone hopefully exits.
Since each side now will have the same potent weapon in their phone arsenal, the fight will come down to the competing service offerings and network quality that Verizon and AT&T provide, according to analysts. That could lead to a new series of moves and countermoves as the nation's two biggest carriers try to convince consumers to choose their version of the iPhone.
