I believe that the merger mandated sales to AWE should have reduced Verizon's sub count by 390,000, not 1.3 million. I hope so....it would be a little disheartening if combining the three companies operations caused sub growth to go down sequentially. Their one-rate plan should have been pretty popular.... It would be nice to see a national branding campaign with Verizon featuring the new Kyocera phone. Something along the lines of AT&T and the Nokia61xx. That advertising campaign really pushed the success of one-rate plans....Verizon/PCS need to do the same thing for wireless web services. One thing I have never figured out is why it takes Qualcomm (now Kyocera) so long to release a phone based on their own chipset. The Audiovox model has been on the market for months.... Slacker
