Too much could mean anything. You add that 700k in subscribers added is huge which it is, but verizon wouldn't know that the iphone would sell as such. Too much could have been forcing verizon to take off their logo...it could have been anything. You assume those changes verizon didn't want to do had to do with their network, it might have had to do with their business model which was talked about previously. Verizon may not have wanted to allow apple to be used as the portal to activate.

Then why did Verizon turn Apple down saying "Apple was asking for too much?" Adding 700,000 subscribers over a weekend is not something any company turns down lightly. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
