Well played, Verizon

Yes, that's a press release in Morse Code.

The translated version is in a nice old-style typewriter font too. Well played indeed.

Verizon absolutely rapes it's consumers in rural areas. If you live in a rural area & are limited on internet options, Verizon is a double edged sword. They have great wireless internet service. It is truly high speed, very stable, & leaps & bounds better than any satellite options available. However, if you actually use it.... grab your ankles. Obviously, not a concern for those that live in urban areas, or places with hardline options. Where one can get all the high speed internet they desire for $100 or less a month. A Verizon wireless internet user who uses say 30GB's/month will pay over $200/month just for internet access. 40GB = $300 !

While, 30 or 40 GB's per month may seem like a lot to some people, keep in mind a Comcast user can use in the neighborhood of 200GB's/month for less than $100/mo. If you are an active internet person, or use Netflix, watch videos on youtube, or have kids into gaming, etc..... Verizon loves you, & will give bend you over every month.

I live 1.5 miles from a Comcast node. Comcast told me it would cost over 100K to bring cable to my house...lol. The ONLY decent internet available to me is Verizon wireless. Needless to say, I need em, & hate em.

Verizon has its faults, to be sure. They may even be evil. But, even evil folks do humorous and clever things, sometimes.

wouldn't it be fun if VZ ATT and comcast decided to no longer offer data services and turned them off everywhere all at once.

You can regulate it, but you can't force them to provide it.

Yeah, that would be fun. Bet that they would treat it like a trucker strike, though.

The real move here is that the FCC with mandate the Interwebz equivalent of the Obama Phone and the rest of us will subsidize it. Watch...

Better start stockpiling bulk internets while you can still get them.

Hmmm I wonder what these green tip cable modems will be worth in a few months

My Comcast cable internet has been noticeably slower since the new rules. No surprises there.
