Slammed again 

Thumb Down

It's illegal in the states, but M&A activity permits the customer to be handed around like a freshman coed at a fraternity party - 2nd slam in 3 years of service

the regulators must permit the customer penalty free contract cancellation each time this happens

Vodafone is Verizon's parent? 

Since when? They are still the minority partner in Verizon Wireless (and you state so further along in the article)... I guess "Verizon, Verizon's parent" doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Parent ? 

Stop

Vodaphone has a 45% stake of Verizon Wireless which is only one Verizon's three divisions (Business, Core, Wireless). Hardly a good definition of Parent !

Alert

Now Verizon has *another* excuse to expand it's lame CDMA network and put off that rollout of GSM they've been promising...
