Who You Calling A Data Hog?

摘要

Thirty dollars for unlimited data: This is how Verizon Wireless beckoned AT&T customers as it took orders for iPhone contracts on its network. Poor AT&T capped its data plans last year at $25 for two gigabytes; one gig is about the size of an episode of Glee in stan-dard definition.Verizon then said in a two-paragraph notice buried on its website that its net-work was a "shared resource" among its customers. It further sighed that it would have to slow data speeds for the top 5 percent of its users to save its cus-tomers from the "inordinate data con-sumption of just a few users."
