Would u like to see Verizon and Cinglular team up?

Question

I would Luv it best bars with the best phones mixed SWEET can u ever see this coming by any chance?

Answer 1

No I don't want them hooking up.

Here's why. Cing is GSM while Veri is CDMA. Two very different technologies. If they combined the tech into 1 unit then the phones prices would increase and therefore the service prices would go up as well.

Also dropped calls would increase. When your using different cell towers from different companies then dropped calls increase. If the companies merged and were constantly switching between the different towers dropped calls could increase.

Oh yeah. It won't happen. SInce Veri is CDMA they would probably hook up with another CDMA first like Metro or Sprint. Cingular would hoop up first T-mobile.

Companies can't merge, becasue of monopoly regulations.
