Verizon is planning to announce a major increase in the number of
areas its high-speed wireless technology will be available, as well
as wider coverage in the initial 20 markets it debuted in.

...

The new Verizon service, named VCAST and scheduled for a Feb. 1
launch, will cost $15 per month for unlimited access to more than 300
daily video clips, including news and entertainment from the News
Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox studio and Viacom Inc.'s VH1 and Comedy

SprintPCS was selling its squintavision over a year ago.

in 2003, so why is it news if Verizon is finally trying to tap into that
revenue stream.

No sense in making their cellular "phone" service better. Who needs to talk
on a phone anymore.

Actually you might be surprised at how much better service has become
because of the toy stuff. I could care less about the toy features but it
requires a solid network to offer them.

1) It's news if you're a Verizon user!
2) Sprint's implementation is really borderline usable, as the article you
linked to mentioned. There's always a chance Verizon's will be much better.

Well the "news" was improperly crossposted all over the place.

Since you've never been a Verizon customer, I am not surprised that you ask
that question. As a former Verizon customer I can tell you that they are pretty
slow to offer any technology besides high-speed data (although they are rolling
out DSL-speed wireless data services faster than anyone else, with their
BroadbandAccess service now available in about thirty cities).

Not that you're wrong, but it *is* amusing to see you (of all people) complain
about newsgroup etiquette, Mr. I-Love-To-Morph-To-Avoid-Killfiles.

Never thought of it that way...but when trying to download an application or
install a program on your phone and it fails, you just do it again. When a
dropped call happens, it effects two people and then the business has to be
re-initiated all over again. If they could just take care of dropped calls
(with multiple handsets with good signal), I wouldn't ***** so much.
Numerous calls to customer service only create more aggravation since any
customer service rep you contact now adays is clueless and almost makes me
think they don't even know what a cell phone is. To hear a customer service
rep tell me they don't even know what a dropped call is and never heard of
it kind of tells you one thing.
