Verizon Wireless Broadband Coverage Dusts the Competition?

If you want to, we can supply you
Got enough work, to feed the whole town...
'Cause we takin' over, one city at a time
Said we takin' over, one city at a time
-Akon "We Takin Over"

That just about sums up what happening with Verizon Wireless Coverage. After months broadband speed meter aggressively upgrading their network prepaid wireless internet urban and rural areas, they started to air ads stating that they've got the most reliable and largest mobile things to do in malaysia network.

That's a pretty tall order.

To add fuel to the fire, they've got a internet modem map that let's you do a "Broadband/3G Comparison". Last year it let you view AT&T's connection speed network and Sprint's Mobile Broadband against theirs (which coincidentally had better coverage).

In an interesting turn of events, Sprint's mobile broadband coverage has mysteriously vanished from the comparison chart. Did Sprint tell them to take it off or was Sprint's coverage actually better? Your guess is as good as mine. I can't say I haven't noticed those commercials about Verizon having the largest mobile broadband network are airing anymore.

Regardless of who's the largest, Verizon's network is pretty robust. They've got excellent coverage at great speeds across many states. They are some noticeable pockets in 3G coverage throughout the Midwest and the Rocky Mountains that could streamyx business keep someone out there from hopping on "the nation's most reliable network". While they've made some great upgrades, whether Verizon will streamyx router setup like your buddy on speed dial if you ever catch a flat depends on where you are.

Verdict:
If you're on the East or West Coast, you'll most likely be covered. The only pitfalls to Verizon Wireless Internet right now are it's 5 Gigabyte cap on downloading and being in Alaska, the MidWest or Rocky Mountains. If you don't travel much, this may be a good bet for you.

Of course, there's much more to selecting a mobile broadband carrier than coverage. For the full deal here are:

Apple's on-again, off-again deal with China Unicom to officially bring the iPhone to China may still be up in the air, but it looks like it could now also be facing some trademark issues that could potentially further hold up its release. Apparently, China's Hanwang Technology owns the trademark for "i-phone" in the country, which could force Apple to make a deal with 'em before it enters the market (sound familiar?). Interestingly, Apple does actually own an broadband expert trademark in China, but it apparently only covers computer hardware and software, while Hanwang's trademark covers mobile phones. According to Hanwang, however, the two aren't actually in talks just yet, and it's not saying what it plans to do if Apple decides to go crazy and announce a move into China without its blessing.
