Sorry, old news. Verizon announced they would have tiered pricing on their 4G network long ago.
...
They're talking about 4g pricing, not 3g pricing.
As texas said, they annouced their pricing would be tiered MONTHS ago.
All these articles popping up are because either:
a) The Journalists don't remember writing articles about verizon's tiered pricing when they announced it originally. Maybe too many drugs.
b) They know that the articles headline will get a lot of people to click on their link, see the ads, and not actually read the article (so they don't have to "waste" time on it)
I'm hedging towards B. I mean, you linked an article talking about tiered 4g pricing and thought that this is the same thing as att removing unlimited 3g.

It's the smart thing to do. People who want unlimited should stick with landlines; broadcasting broadband speeds to a mobile phone would get expensive. I'm not sure how long Sprint can keep up the unlimited 4G themselves.

where does it say 4g pricing only? not sure i read those words. maybe that is how you interpreted it, but i read it differently. i don't know, i am no expert, but that is just the way i read it. not trying to start any thing here. i had not seen anything about this before. and there is a lot of disgust about at&t changing their plans, i found it interesting that other's may soon follow suit. you know a lot of people complain about it, but the reality is that we all may soon be paying for the data we use and not just one flat unlimited rate. i am not sure i even agree with at&t's decision. i was just posting some info that i had read, which is what i thought this forum is for. but get blasted for it. it would just be nice, if one of these day...

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone carrier, may follow AT&T Inc. in introducing tiered pricing and eliminating unlimited data plans this year as it moves to its faster fourth-generation network technology.
From Further in:
“The more bandwidth that you make available, the faster it will be consumed,†said Craig Moffett, analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York. “From Verizon’s perspective, the last thing you want is for another generation of consumers to be conditioned to the idea that data is always going to be uncapped.â€Â
Next generation, more bandwidth available.
That's JUST from the arti...

The first part of the article doesent really prove that Verizon will have tiered pricing on 4g only. It just says that Verizon is moving to 4g later this year.
And as far as Verizon using their unlimited plans as a selling tool against ATT tiered pricing, of course they are. There are trying to take advantage of a situation. Doesent mean that they are not planning tiered pricing for 3g. Things change in this industry so quick that they could change there position in a month.

Every quote they are using by verizon is talking about how with increased bandwidth, unlimited data isn't realistic. That increased bandwidth is coming because of LTE
It's possible that they will tier 3g, but NOTHING these articles are quoting point towards that. So stating that verizon is copying att with 3g tiered pricing based off of these quotes is like saying verizon will get the iphone based on the quotes of scott herman
