Will the iPhone punish Verizon's network?
By 
Now that it is official that the iPhone is coming to Verizon we get to move on to other things. One of the big questions floating around is whether or not the iPhone will do to Verizon’s network what it did to AT&T’s.
Gizmodo has a great article investigating this very thing, here is an excerpt:
Probably not, says Gartner wireless analyst Phil Redman. Verizon’s “had more time to plan than anybody else and knows the repercussions of not preparing enough.” Just look at how much some people loathe AT&T. Verizon’s already “put in more work than AT&T did at the start of their venture.” Not only has Verizon “increased their CDMA capacity over the last 12-18 months” to be ready for the iPhone and other smartphones, says Redman, they’ve been “more aggressive than others increasing their backhaul capacity.” Specifically, they’ve been more aggressive about running more fiber to their towers than any other carrier. All these points, Verizon hammered on during the iPhone announcement as well.
If this is true it is great news for those already on Verizon and for all those people that will switch in the coming months.
