Verizon Confirms $30 Unlimited Plan for iPhone, Cuts $15 Option
This is good for both parties...
1. Unlimited plans will cause more customers to defect from AT&T to Verizon, which will hopefully bring down the congestion on the AT&T network.
1a. The likelihood that the Verizon network will be swamped by unlimited iPhones is partially mitigated by the "no simultaneous voice and data" limitation.
2. This may force AT&T to start offering an unlimited iPhone plan again.
As another poster stated-- people want an unlimited plan not because they would use unlimited data, but for the assurance that their bills will be consistent month to month. A very limited subset of users do heavy streaming or tethering, and the carriers have the right to limit or cancel their service if they find out.
