Off topic but that explains why the McLaren F1 car has "Verizon" being advertised at the back of it's rear wing, was always confused as it's "Vodafone McLaren Mercedes"For example, Vodafone is the world's largest mobile phone company (by revenue); they are the official iPhone carrier in many markets around the planet. Well, it just so happens that they are half-owner of Verizon Wireless (the other half is owned by Verizon Communications). It's very probable that the Vodafone partnership helped bring the iPhone to Verizon Wireless.
Thanks
