Verizon understands the disproportionate data usage of people with very capable "app phones" (to use this guy's term) and they welcome it with open arms:
"As for Verizon, the carrier says that its network has been built so as to handle this kind of stress. According to telephonyonline, Verizon's network has a great advantage over AT&T's, and that should help the carrier a lot in its quest. 'CDMA downlink channels are only 1.25 MHz wide, compared to the 5 MHz used by AT&T’s HSPA network, but they support similar maximum capacities (3.1 Mb/s for Rev. A compared to 3.6 Mb/s for HSPA).' "
