Gotta wonder why Verizon is so draconian about this while Sprint doesn't have this limit.

Could it be Verizon really does have less capacity than Sprint?

Sprint now has the industry's highest churn or monthly customer defection rate.

Turnover in the executive offices has also been high. Three key leaders jumped ship last year: onetime chairman and former Nextel chief Tom Donahue, strategy man Tom Kelly and operations head Len Lauer.

Meanwhile, with its eroding customer base, falling long-distance and wholesale prices and weakening business services unit, Sprint managed to turn in four consecutive quarters of disappointing financial results last year.

Could it be that Sprint has been losing money on their data service and Verizon doesn't want to follow them down the path to yearly loses?

Sprint has the highest DATA ARPU of all carriers. If you exclude iDen users, it's even higher for CDMA.

Sprint clearly leads when it comes to data. It's not really even questionable. They have a larger EVDO network, more RevA, faster on average, roams EVDO on Alltel and no download limits. Customer support is another matter.
