Verizon to cap iPhone data plans this summer

Right now when you get a new Verizon iPhone, you get unlimited use of the data network. It's always been clear, however, that this plan was only for a limited time. Now we find out that it will expire this summer (which actually means the whole option lasted a lot longer than I thought it would). It doesn't take much extrapolation to connect a summer end of unlimited data with the anticipated summer release of the new iPhone 5. Will that phone be much more of a data network hog? Or just a big seller? Don't know. But now that the iPad 2 is coming out, we can start obsessing over the next Apple device. Because we're all mindless zombies commanded by Cupertino.

If it is an Android device its great, innovative, ground breaking. If it is Apple then it is talked about like they are communist trying to take over the world. The people who buy them are idiots especially when it was only on AT&T. Now that it is on "Big Red" the phone got so much better and the network is better. If the phone didnt sell as well it does this conversation would not be happening at all.
