Almost One-Third of Current iPhone Users Would Possibly Switch to Verizon

"ChangeWave asked owners of the new Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) gadget how likely they would be to switch wireless providers if Verizon (NYSE: VZ) began offering the iPhone. A total of 13% said they were Very Likely and 18% Somewhat Likely to switch to Verizon. And that's among users who already have their own iPhone."
Personally, I'm not looking to switch, but that's because no mobile provider reaches my house. Because AT&T has its Microcell available, I finally have coverage in my home, so it's unlikely I'll be switching to Verizon anytime soon. As a person who once left AT&T because of a few bad customer service experiences, I also have to say that all of my recent experiences with AT&T have been excellent. All of that being said, I can understand the frustration that many people have with the AT&T network, especially in areas with tech-heavy populations like New York and San Francisco. Would you switch carriers if Apple brought the iPhone to Verizon?
