AT&T has been the only carrier of the iPhone, but this may change very soon. Verizon wireless firmly believes that it will be able to take on the task of carrying the iPhone. Over the past few years Verizon has consistently been increasing its coverage from all around the country. Furthermore, Verizon has created several different upgrades that enable the current network to handle extra traffic. Statements have been made that AT&T was not ready to deal with the heavy flow of traffic from the iPhone, thus Verizon wireless is willing to take some of it. Verizon has even started considering releasing phones very similar to the iPhone. However, AT&T disagrees with the statements of a faulty network and simply said they are working on fixing the minor problems. So far, Verizon has invested more money into creating a stronger network than AT&T as well as increasing the number of vehicles out in the country testing out the service. However, the iPhone has increased AT&T's data traffic by 5000% while Verizon's data traffic has also been rapidly increasing but as at a slower rate.
I think that that it would be beneficial to include the iPhone under Verizon wirelesses’ network. Verizon has a background of being a very strong and reliable network, and since AT&T has been having many troubles with heavy traffic, they should allow Verizon to share the troubles with them. Furthermore, while it may bring down AT&T's sales allowing Verizon to distribute iPhones would be more beneficial to the consumer which is most important.
