Verizon Wireless

A day after announcing the YouTube deal VZW signed up with Revver. This deal will allow VZW's V CAST customers to access Revver's content in early December.
"V CAST subscribers will have access to some of the most popular content from a variety of Revver’s video creators chosen from categories on Revver.com, such as Editor’s Picks, Viral Video Classics, Extreme Sports, Laughs, Animation, and Cute Overdose. Revver will provide new video clips each week to V CAST, and content will be refreshed twice a week."
Once again VZW's V CAST customers will be limited to the content chosen by VZW/Revver for your "viewing pleasure".

If you need to access more than that, get a Treo. Problem solved.
Is it unlimited NO
Can you download third party apps NO
Does it even stream video NO

All I'm saying is that the Treo is a perfect tool for just about every form of data you would need to access in your every day life
I disagree for 45 bucks I don't want to be told what I can or can't do, hell my comcast is only five bucks more and I can do whatever I want. On Power Vision you are free to do anything you want, verizon needs to quit power tripping and allow users to stream, download, or do anything they want.
Plus Power Vision is only 25 bucks!
You all should be outraged about this You Tube crap

in verizons defense they can't let people download what they want. They don't have the spectrum! Their network is almost at capacity with the caps!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 poor verizon
I just like Sprint for their killer phones

Honeslty I think verizon will acquire sprint within 5 years! Unless they buy out their partners share then the FCC would never allow it unless they give up their local service and other things!
I doubt it, Verizon Wireless wants customers that are postpaid/good credit score with high ARPU that cause less cost per a user. Sprint has a relax credit check/security deposit program for the postpaid and their assest, for the moment, is their prepaid customers. So unless Sprint/Nextel gets to the point of being bankrupt. I doubt we will see Verizon buying them out. I think Alltel or US Cellular would have a better chance of being bought 1st.

Censorship and our freedom of speech is to protect us from the government. Private entities can control their content, whether it be message boards, tv, radio, etc. As long as the government isn't involved. If you don't like what said entity is censored then you can choose another entity or move for change within that entity. Freedom of speech is to protect us from our government. This country has gotten a little ridiculous on what freedom of speech refers to.

As a followup, why isn't everyone pissed at YouTube? They somewhat control what's allowed on their network. 'Indecent' material isn't allowed on YouTube. Did anyone stop and consider that maybe Verizon is limiting the AMOUNT of videos available and not necessarily the content?
Case in point:
