Verizon - Art - they may be slow in many respects but who is the first to rollout 1X? Who is the company that has embraced the BREW open systems approach to software development? The BREW decision doesn't sound like the outcome of a dinosaur. Is it better to wait 6 months (like Sprint) and launch 1x all at once or is it better to launch when developed on a region by region basis? Maybe the pace of KDDI's late launch justifies waiting three months. Maybe Sprint's launch will be so great that they also will be justified. But I for one am grateful to see Verizon Express out there, warming up the water, experimenting with rates, getting favorable journalistic comments etc. I also expect Verizon's rollout of BREW enabled handsets this month to have a picked up advertising pace and have a lot of the features in the consumer market that Sprint will have in August. Let's see.
