|  They have little to worry about
With Boost Mobile offering $50 a month unlimited on the legacy Nextel network with its erratic text messaging and limited coverage, it's little incentive for VZW to offer similar pricing on their towers. Postpaid is where the real money is, and if they can get iPhone they can be unstoppable.
Anyway, Verizon Wireless got burned pretty bad by their former MVNO partner Amp'd Mobile. I doubt they'll be doing anything close to that anytime soon, unless their postpaid RGUs take a steep drop and customers flee for other carriers (they're not).

New York, NY | yea, Big Red don't need to compete with anyone....as most customers that use verizon are business and there's a large amount of regular customers also. Their coverage speak for themselves |

Also not every market has issues with the iDEN network, they're also working on the texting part as a huge problem with at once. You'll have problems if you add half a million customers in a quarter without buying anyone. millions of people left VZW, Sprint (postpaid), TM and ATT for the Boost services.
Also it's not very limited. I get service where VZW, Alltel, Sprint, ATT and TM doesn't even have service. My calls are also clear. |

I'd jump for a similar $3 a day T-Mobile plan. I seldom use my phone but while in transit.......
They have a $1 a day plan now that gets you $0.10/min, free TMTM, and free after 7pm. It's nice because it is ONLY on days you make/get calls. And you can change plans instantly. |

Virgin Mobile is actually a partnership with Sprint. |
