Verizon has how many customers? I think I read yesterday 93 million. if they lost 3% of that over this, (they're estimating that will be the fallout) they can live with that. they know A LOT of what we don't: what their competitors are planning. do we really believe that they would do this without knowing somehow that Sprint and the others are moving towards the same type of setup? I can't believe that they don't care that Sprint still offers unlimited data, and that potentially tons of people would bolt for Sprint, no matter how bad their coverage may be.
I think we are going to have to figure out just how important unlimited data is to us. I get to keep mine until July 2013, then it's decision time: do i keep my Tbolt, which is already a dinosaur in smartphone circles NOW, or do I pay $600.00 retail in order to keep my unlimited data? I know i need at least 10GB a month for my normal data usage. either I rachet down seriously, or get ready to pay $50 or so more a month for data. My reflex action is to say I'm keeping my Tbolt, but YOU KNOW all the dual and quad core phones out there are going to be very enticing. like I said before, goodbye netflix, goodbye NFL network, goodbye excessive youtube viewing. I'm going to enjoy the next 14 months, but it's going to FLY by. :'(
