Yes, but the biggest reason Verizon can charge more, both for handsets
and for service, is because their network is so much better. Look at the
latest Consumer Reports, and look at _every_ other independent survey of
carriers, and look at the bogus "fewer dropped calls" advertising
campaign that Cingular got in trouble for.

Remember, Apple approached Verizon with the iPhone before they
approached Cingular, for a very good reason. Verizon wasn't willing to
do the revenue sharing arrangement that Apple wanted, but Cingular was
desperate enough to agree to it.
