Re: Great for me, sucks to be them That is what I'm saying. I think if VZW was the company who got the iPhone, they would be having network problems like AT&T did because it represented rapid growth.
And according to the news item, iPhone users use 15X the data that average smartphone users use so 15M new iPhone users would be the equivalent of FAR more than 15M other smartphone users. If the article is correct in user data consumption, those 15M iPhone users would consumer the same data as 225M typical smartphone users which is more than double the total number of current VZW subscribers.
It isn't about being fair. It's about whether ANY network could have handled 15M iPhone users without trouble and I am saying NO US carrier could have handled 15M iPhone users in such a short time without problems. It is simply too much growth too fast.
