akamai is available to whoever wants to pay, and they partner closely
with verizon (they promote each others services in a partnership), so
saying that verizon has nothing like it is quite a stretch.

well, verizon has had the lowest churn rate of the large carriers for
the last several years. we'll see what happens when carriers report
this month- i expect vz' churn to be a little bit higher than typical
for this past quarter from the initial hype, then return to normal,
but i'd be willing to bet you a SERIOUS chunk of cash that verizon's
customer base is UP this past quarter, rather than down.
