Apple and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless are in "high-level" talks about breaking AT&T (NYSE: T)'s exclusivity regarding the popular iPhone, according to a report by USA Today.
Citing people familiar with the situation, the report said the iPhone could potentially find its way onto Verizon's networks as early as next year. The move would give Apple access to about 80 million new Verizon customers, and it would enable Verizon to stem the tide of subscribers defecting to AT&T to nab Apple's touch-screen smartphone....
As a longtime Verizon subscriber, I would definitely get an iPhone, if it became an option in the Verizon network.
****** Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post's The Fix, has a reaction to the latest WashingtonPost/ABCNews Poll:
The new Washington Post/ABC news poll has all sorts of intriguing numbers in it but when you are looking for clues as to where the two parties stand politically there is only one number to remember: 21.
That's the percent of people in the Post/ABC survey who identified themselves as Republicans, down from 25 percent in a late March poll and at the lowest ebb in this poll since the fall of 1983(!)....
...The number of people who see themselves as GOPers is on the decline even as those who remain within the party grow more and more conservative.....
Ouch! Looks to me like the party of "NO!" (AKA Republican, GOP) is disappearing.
