[ale] OT: unlimited plans !?!

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

I love Verizon’s new advertising which in essence says “We’re not offering unlimited without a high fee because most people don’t use it.”

If they really don’t use it why put a limit on it?  Clearly they’ve realized there are people already using it.   The history of computing also tells us that even if you’re not using it yet, over time you will be and if you were dumb enough to buy their premise now you’ll pay a lot more for it then.

Verizon's phones typically feature locked bootloaders and obstacles to rooting tools.  T-Mobile is marginally better. I don't know if that's just negligence or the result of a hideous political fight in the technical departments.  I do, however, want control of my own devices with a minimum of hassle.
