Verizon iPhone Deal More Likely After 4G Launch
Friday, April 17th, 2009 at 8:23 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple isn't likely to strike an iPhone deal with Verizon right now because it isn't interested in making a CMDA-compatible version of its smartphone for the carrier's network. An opportunity for a deal could, however, arise once Verizon's 4G LTE network is online.
According to the Wall Street Journal, AT&T and Verizon are both working on rolling out their 4G networks, and unlike their current wireless offerings, the systems will be compatible -- meaning Apple won't have to build two versions of the iPhone.
Verizon's rollout efforts are ahead of AT&T's right now, which potentially gives the carrier a leg up on AT&T. Despite its head start, Verizon isn't planning on phasing out CMDA network support until 2011, so AT&T's slower 4G migration and beefed up 3G support could be enough to convince Apple to stick with its exclusive carrier agreement with AT&T. The cell service provider is currently negotiating with Apple to extend its exclusive contract beyond 2010 and into 2011.
Since Apple doesn't appear to be interested in building a CMDA version of the its combination iPod and smartphone, Verizon will have to wait until its 4G network is online and AT&T's exclusive deal runs out before it has a chance at getting in on the iPhone action.
