This is Verizon trying to play in the Sandbox with Sprint/Nextel. Verizon has a long long way to go to understand interoperability, first response, emergency prepardness, EMR etc. They can say they do it, when it come to critical response in an emergency situation I'll still put all my cards with Sprint/Nextel.Verion doesn't even have a ERT team. Sprint/Nextel has time and time again been STRONG and DELIVERED when it comes to critical emergency situations. They deploy COW's & devices within hours and work on site to ensure critical communication is working.
All I see is a consumer based company Verizon attempting to put on a uniform and push the consumer product. At critial moments they will be no where to be found.
