Mobilitysite: Could Any Network Have Been Ready For the iPhone?

Chris Leckness · 2 weeks ago

Definitely not. It doesn't matter which carrier got the iPhone, that company would be getting hammered right now by everyone. I honestly think Sprint and T-Mo would it even worse too.

I think Sprint or Verizon may have faired better (but not much) as they both have a large network just as AT&T does, but AT&T was alone in tower technology (GSM). When they are full, they are stuck. Sprint and Verizon could have benefited from redundant towers in some areas (CDMA) and they could have covered peak demand by drawing from other each others towers. Maybe I am just crazy.
