Verizon bought Iphone domain?

// Category:
Folks at PocketNow have just reported that Verizon has bought iPhone related domains iPhoneonVerizon.com and iPhoneforVerizon.com.

Though it doesn’t confirm that Verizon will start selling Apple’s iPhone on its network (which has been speculated ever since Apple launched iPhone in 2007), it has certainly added fuel to the fire.

The new registration information for the iPhoneonVerizon.com and iPhoneforVerizon.com domains are identical to other domain registered to Verizon, which indicates that Benton either transferred or sold the domains to Verizon. The entity "Verizon Trademark Services" that owns these domain names also owns the verizon.com domain. The domains still don’t forward to Verizon’s official website, which could be to stay under the radar. But since domain registration information can be faked, this could well turn out to be a hoax.

Let’s hope that in 2011, we finally see the launch of Verizon iPhone so that it puts an end to these speculations.Folks at PocketNow have just reported that Verizon has bought iPhone related domains iPhoneonVerizon.com and iPhoneforVerizon.com.
