Description
Yesterday, I wrote about the possibility of Verizon Wireless offering a "drip-casting" data perk, in which users are not charged for large downloads if they plan ahead and sacrifice the typical on demand downloading we've grown accustomed to with smartphones. Naturally, as I'm hardly ever one to plan ahead, especially when it comes to downloading things, I explained that drip-casting would only affect and appeal a small portion of users. And I insisted that since wireless providers continue to offer absurdly low data caps with relatively large price tags, that they at least need to compromise and offer some promotional deals that help power users.
That said, data pricing is only half the battle, so I've decided to continue yesterday's quasi-rant.
In several previous articles, I've noted how the average calling plan has remained the same price. It's almost as if wireless providers have completely ignored the fact that data services have surpassed voice calling as the primary method for communication for a large number of users. And I'm sure they're hoping no one will notice.
