Verizon expected to lead pack in Q3 customer adds

With little more than a week until wireless carriers begin releasing third-quarter results, industry analysts continue to fine tune their quarterly predictions. Those updated forecasts generally are calling for more robust customer growth than originally anticipated, though most expect total growth from the industry's nationwide operators to fall short of the more than 5.2 million customers added during the second quarter.
Among individual operators, most analysts are betting heavily on Verizon Wireless running far ahead of its competition in s...

Can't says I disagree. 😉

that isnt really true.
verizon isnt the best by the way... cingular has more total subscribers then them, which means they are the best.
by the way it isnt easy to stay on top, why? well becuase cingular is on top and their subscriber growth is slipping every single quarter for these 3 quarters. (the 3rd quarter pro forma numbers that is )
anyway, great pro forma numbers nontheless for verizon and the rest of the carriers.

Best and biggest are two different words. Cingular is the biggest but clearly not the best as you even stated above. Best has nothing to do with how many customers you have, especially if you're losing them at a higher rate than the competition and you're not a...

WHAT a difference a year makes. November of last year, MANY folks (and not a few analysts) were predicting the end of VZW's domination. But here we are, October '05, and now its:

I predicted it'd go down this way back then, but even I'm suprised that its gone this well.

Among individual operators, most analysts are betting heavily on Verizon Wireless running far ahead of its competition in signing up new customers.

While Verizon Wireless is expected to surpass previous customer-growth estimates, the industry's No. 1 and No. 3 operators are forecast to fall short.

Sorry... this part:
should read like this:
but if you were to be offered, say, unlimited local and long-distance calling for $25
should read like this:

Not necessarily. Verizon already did this when they killed the $59.99 Family plan and created the $69.99 Family plan to start off with. Yah, you get 200 more minutes but the majority of people who get the $69.99 plan probably are only using 400 max, if that. So to Verizon they probably saw this as a "who cares?" situation. I'm sure some people who fell between 500 and 700 are out there, but I doubt Verizon would have made this change if that was the majority. And, even with this change people flock to Verizon because they don't push their rate plans as much as they push their network.

Verizon did it because Cingular did it and it worked for them. Cingular dropped the $59.99 plan way before VZ...

very logical BTJ. there is actually pricing competition going on.
i am not suprised that they are saying verizon wireless might overthrown cingular, becuase cingular has been having their sub growth decline while verizon's hasnt.
(http://www.govtech.net/news/news.php?id=9686 2 that is an article about "FCC Issues Report on the State of Competition in the Wireless Industry". it is quite interesting)
many carriers are starting to do voip, such as sprint-nextel and others... they want to use this and get away from their current network becuase its very expensive. as voice arpu starts to decline and the saturation starts to happen, it is very important to drive costs down as much as possible. it is also important to think of other reven...
