Well, the happy marriage of Verizon and the iPhone has been delayed. While ceremonies were meant to be held today, the couple saw it better fit to have their official day be Feb 10, 2011, according to the Apple website. While this long-awaited coupling pleases many (as the AT&T network is officially %*#@! on numerous occasions due to the plethora of people in their network), AT&T has a few tricks up their sleeve. For starters, the iPhone release by Verizon will mean a brand new network for people to clog, and while admittedly thousands of people will be purchasing a Verizon package or migrating from AT&T to Verizon, AT&T will also be lowering the cost of the phone substantially, therefore attracting new customers by "Wal-marting" their prices. And yes, I used Wal-mart as a verb. Attention Webster, we have to talk.
So, for those of you like me who have secretly always imagined themselves with an iPhone but never actually purchased one for reasons of your own, now might be a time to start reconsidering and re-researching networks, prices, and competition. Aaaah, the free-enterprise market. Chalk one up to capitalism.
