Vodafone and Verizon to cooperate more
Just got word from Vodafone that it and its US buddy Verizon are to launch "a new global services cooperation".
"The new program allows both companies to meet the needs of global business customers, while providing a consistent approach to products and pricing," says the release.
Might this have something to do with Qualcomm's Gobi chipset, which should obviate the current ridiculous situation whereby - despite a roaming partnership - Vodafone users need to switch datacards to use Verizon's CDMA network in the US? Methinks so.
