Verizon is just playing along for now. As you suggest much can and will happen during the next several years. Though if I were a Verizon shareholder right now I'd be thinking long and hard about my holdings. Even the appearance that company management might make a decision that is favorable for its largest minority shareholder at the expense of the majority, would be extremely distasteful

VOD's strong arm tactics have nothing to do with the quality of the technology, nor do they have to do with roaming as the multi-system chips are going to make roaming a non-issue. Hell's Bell's it's a non-issue now.

VOD wants quantity discounts for WCDMA infra. There is going to be a lot of $ spent on WCDMA infra. If it can get Verizon to go WCDMA, the infra orders increase and so does the volume discount.

It's always the bottom line.
