How long will VZW support BB OS7?

Question

BB has stated they will cease support for BB OS 7 in 2 years (end of 2015).  Is VZW able to continue support for BB OS 7 past the 2 year point?  How about BBIS?  Please don't try to convince me I should upgrade to BB OS 10.  There is nothing of interest in OS 10 for me, so it is a matter of how long OS 7 will be around.

Thanking in advance all who respond.

Actually, BlackBerry has gone on the record stating that they (at this point) plan to support BBOS7 indefinitely.  They have not released a date at which that would cease.

They have stated that they will stop SELLING OS7 devices in December 2015.

They are going to stop supporting BES in 2015.

And I agree with you about BBOS10.
