Verizon Wireless may launch PTT in July

The next phase in the push-to-talk wars is expected to begin in less than a
month as industry sources claim Verizon Wireless will launch its PTT
offering in most major markets during the first week of July.
While the carrier has provided few public details of the service beyond a
launch date sometime this year, sources claim several people inside Verizon
Wireless have acknowledged the impending launch.
If Verizon Wireless does launch its PTT offering early next month, it would
coincide with the rollout of Nextel Communications Inc.'s nationwide Direct
Connect launch, which the carrier initiated earlier this month and plans to
have complete by August.
Additional CDMA carriers, including Sprint PCS and Alltel Corp., have
announced plans to launch PTT services this year.
