But to have no information about plans, etc. is crazy. The majority of the people inquiring are coming from other carriers, etc.

We should at least know as much as possible before switching to them. Hopefully they'll have more info up this week.

Hopefully. But to be honest with you, I'm starting to think they're gonna make us wait until we get in the store on Friday before telling us the data plan rates.

Perhaps they want to delay putting information up on their site until their managers and employees have been briefed.

The internal email I received today (I work for SWBell,ATT) had a lot of things said on the upcoming stuff this week. It said there would be a pleasant surprise and a new commercial this week, but did not indicate the details. It did detail the advance work put into the EDGE network and said it would be nearly twice as fast and expanded just for the iphone support, nearly 50 million dollar buildout. It also said that there were over 200 ATT netwrk techs in the field that had been trialing the netwrk for 10 weeks now and have good reports on it.. I will post on new stuff as I get it.

Thanks, The email I had also said it would have a new one each day this week for the iphone/network update, I will post when I get them. They could have stuff in as it rolls out to the press also, but maybe something I can share also.
Oh, the 200 techs that were doing the field testing, it was with iphones! They had reportedly logged over 10,000 hours online with the EDGE and the iphone came off as a very nice piece of technology and hardly any glitches at all.

I found this paragraph in an article on infoworld.com
"USA Today also reported that Verizon was Apple's original choice for wireless partner, but that Verizon wouldn't accept Apple's extraordinary demand of an off-the-top cut of monthly subscriber revenue." (emphesis added)

Does this mean that Apple wanted Verizon to cut its subsciber rates and they would not so Apple dealt with ATT? If so, does this mean that special low rates dictated by Apple will take place from ATT plan? your thoughts?

It means that Apple wanted a revenue sharing model of the monthly subscriber rates with Verizon.
