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.

ARPU doesn't take in to account costs. I'd be more interested in seeing their Avg Profit per Unit numbers.
