Networks are relative to where you live?
Honestly, I have tried most carriers at my house. With Verizon I have
pretty decent coverage on EVDO, and I can download about 1M for
speed. Sprint I'm lucky to get 1 bar standing in the middle of my yard.
On AT&T, I couldn't get 3G access, only get dial-up speeds for
downloads. Your myopic view of the carrier is probably just a reverse
situation of what I have to deal with, but that's life. Just because Apple
signs another contract with another carrier doesn't necessarily mean that
existing iPhone customers are going to loose their phone contract with
AT&T anyways, so I don't see it as a big deal.
