Verizon dropping the grandfathered unlimited data plans

Quote:Verizon Wireless will no longer be allowing customers on a grandfathered unlimited data plan to upgrade to a 4G LTE smartphone when the carrier launches its tiered data share plans in mid-summer.

This is just another dumb idea by the large carriers. Bandwidth caps is not the way to combat bandwidth issues. Their problems is that there is more people getting into the data plans and the carriers need to increase the infrastructure. They don't want to admit to be providing dumb pipes.
