In all honesty, I don't think this is correct. Apple has reached the
saturation point of consumer adoption IN THE TINY 3G FOOTPRINT OF AT&T
WIRELESS. Millions of potential iPhone customers are in the red zone of
Verizon outside the tiny blue islands of ATT's 3G footprint. Noone
except the very rabid fanboiz are going to buy an iPhone where there's
only 2G as slow as molasses to run it on. Those customers are being
lost, forever, as they are standing at the Verizon counters to snap up
the smartphones Verizon offers.

What's amazing is it doesn't seem to sink in for Apple investors blinded
by The Light (and noise) coming from Cupertino.

Don't you think that Apple has figured out that the money they're being
paid by AT&T to not do a model for Verizon is more than they could make
by doing a Verizon model. How many _additional_ customers would they get
by doing an iPhone for Verizon (not ones that would switch to Verizon
from AT&T).
