Erik,
I'm not going to continue to argue this point much further, but.....
I worked in the wireless business for 12+ years.
I am an engineer with 'hands on' experience. Across the country.
Not in just 1 or 2 metro areas.
Here is where you are wrong.
VZW, being made up of multiple companies merged together, still uses multiple
switch and site equipment vendors, because of this. Some have been switched
out since the merger (mainly Motorola), but there still are MULTIPLE vendors.
Sprint, on the other hand, uses mainly one switch and site equipment vendor.
The two companies absolutely do NOT use the same equipment in many cases.
Yes, they may in some cases, if they both happen to use the same vendor in a given
area, but this is not the rule. Your blanket statement is in error.
