Verizon Wireless offering Apple iPhone in January




Come January, AT&T will no longer be the only phone company that sells the iPhone. Verizon Wireless is stepping onto the scene. UBS analyst John Hodulik says, "Apple is going to dramatically increase the number of devices it sells in the U.S. when exclusivity at AT&T ends. It's hard to ignore the quality issues that AT&T has faced." So, basically what he's saying is what everybody pretty much already saw. AT&T's service has had many problems, and by Apple opening the floor to Verizon as well, many of the service problems that AT&T was having will be solved. Hodulik goes on to say that, "Verizon customers, who numbered 92.8 million at the end of the first quarter, may buy 3 million iPhones a quarter." With that said, the cell phone competition between AT&T and Verizon will be a interesting one come this winter and beyond.
