Re : Verizon employee -- just remember, Globalstar once had visions of all Verizon store employees being familiar with the possibilities of having "seamless" integration between one's Verizon wireless service and Globalstar's satellite-based wireless service ...

Was in a Verizon store ...

Verizon seems particularly egregious in its inability or unwillingness to differentiate itself based upon technology. I wonder if it's the VOD connection?

If you think they're bad wrt CDMA, you should have seen them not sell globalstar phones. Hidden away in the back room like a crazy relative. I don't think Verizon is much of a spear carrier for QCOM. I suspect they are still pretty beholdin' to VOD.
