Report: Verizon iPhone Coming in January

Jun 30, 2010

Verizon Wireless will begin selling an Apple iPhone in January 2011, according to Bloomberg Television. Analysts, confirming the deal, expect it to be a win for Verizon and its pending LTE network – though believe the iPhone may bring to Verizon many of the challenges AT&T still struggles with.

Verizon’s offering could exponentially broaden the user base for the iPhone in the U.S. CIOs need to brace themselves for a fresh onslaught of requests to connect to corporate email and other business applications. These requests will be coming in from across your enterprise — from the C-level suite through the rank-and-file.

Updating your smarphone use and security policies now will go a long way toward helping you prepare for the upcoming demand.

Of course, rumors of a Verizon iPhone have been circulating for the past 18 months.

This latest report comes from analysts Brian Marshall, with Gleacher & Co. (formerly Broadpoint AmTech), and Chandan Sarkar, with Auriga Securities, who each addressed the information as a given. While Marshall and others suggested months ago that January 2011 was the likely date that AT&T would lose its exclusivity contract with the iPhone, Verizon and Apple have yet to officially confirm the date – or such a deal.
