Does Verizon Really Need the iPhone? [View article]
The question to ask is do Apple need VZ?
The churn rate is low because of the contracts the subscribers had signed with VZ and they also inherited 13 millions customers from Alltel (without which ATT would have the most subscribers).
VZ cripple phones to save bandwidth and most of their users don't surf the net because of the crappy user experience. Wit the iPhone VZ may also experience the same problem as ATT because of the consumption of bandwidth.
And why should Apple make a CDMA phone when there is no future in its future?
By the way selling in other markets more than make up for the loss of sale without VZ.
