Theres a very simple reason for that:
TOS
VZW - Draconian
Sprint - Slurp away.
VZW has a better network coverage wise, but its TOS is absolutely useless for real use. I've had VZW for my cell service long before it even was VZW, but I will never use them for data.

| Sprint has slightly better EVDO coverage on average than Verizon and Sprint has EVDO roaming on Alltel while Verizon does not. Huge EVDO rural areas in some states.
The only area where Verizon EVDO is better than Sprint may be in customer support. Verizon's support is still poor compared to consumer products, but Sprint is even worse.
But, true, Verizon's draconian TOS has helped Sprint. |

They'll punt WiMax like they did everything else outside their core business.
