SUMMARY
Verizon Wireless was falling behind AT&T in new monthly subscription contracts. The iPhone had stolen people's hearts and minds. The shiny new device was on everyone's wish list, so, we had to point out its one big down-fall; the provider it runs on. Turns out Verizon Wireless has five-times more 3G coverage area than AT&T. What is the point of having the coolest technology if you can't access all of its power, all of the time? Verizon rallied the troops to spread the word, playing off iPhone's own strategy.
