OTOH, never underestimate "Because we can".
in their own words (vzw)[1]: "Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) provided a very bullish outlook on the company’s financial position of its wireless unit today, by saying that it will likely beat its own estimates of achieving 43 percent to 45 percent profit margins," Note in the past I'd said 'verizon plans on 35%+ profit on anything in the wireless space'... I was 10% points off ;( So... 'because we can' seems to fit well here. Yes, I do understand their need/want/etc to 'maximize shareholder value', but they certainly aren't putting caps on because of hardship.
