According to Manzo: "the biggest question people are asking is whether Verizon will be able to handle the congestion management that AT&T experienced with the iPhone .. No one really knows whether Verizon has adequately prepared for the volume that the device tends to introduce to network operators, But my hunch is they have. They’ve waited long enough and prepared their network with a policy management infrastructure sufficiently in place, to handle the volume increase with stride .. My true prediction is that Verizon’s network will see the issues [network congestion] but will fix them quickly after watching what AT&T has gone through and what obstacles they have come across in the past two or three years and prepared themselves.”
