saq: nice eFront reference. We're not too far away from that happening.
PEZ: Verizon is basically charging you to view ads, since you're using up minutes and paying whatever per-kilobyte rate they charge (is it $.002 or .002 cents per kilobyte? Hmmm...). Verizon receives data fees, charges for minutes if there's an overage, AND earns ad revenue. Brilliant!
I've decided to stop waiting for the end of term and have T-mobile send Verizon an FCC number porting request. They've pushed on us the VCast spamvertising, the Borg UI, the lack of Bluetooth, the Get It Now! media lock-in, and their sad lineup of yesteryear phones. Let's see how many subscribers VZW loses to this boneheaded money-grab.
