In a world where people change handsets on a annual basis, and wireless
contracts are one or two years, I'm not sure one NEEDS "long term
criteria" to select a carrier.

And, franlky, I'm not sure your implied "Verizon's coverage is better
now, but might be downgraded to Cingular's level in a few years when AMPS
is phased out" is exactly the cloth that sales brochures are cut from!
