Verizon’s New Prepaid Wireless Data Service for Laptop Users is a Rip…

This is one of those news items where you just imagine a conference room somewhere with a bunch of stuffed shirts and one guy says “I know!  We’ll give them less and charge them more!” and everybody pats each other on the back for a job well done.

Enter Verizon’s new pre-paid wireless “deal”.

$15 a day to access 75 megabytes of data.

OR… $30 a week for 250 MB of data.

OR $50 a month for 500 MB  of data.

(All the new services will be bundled with the Verizon Wireless USB760… no data here on what the upsell cost is there, but I’m guessing it’s no bargain.)

For comparison, the standard service costs $40 a month for 250MB or $60 a month for 5G of data.

What do these guys think when they go to Europe?  I guess they must think that mobile providers there are idiots.  Or they think that people here are idiots…

Boo hiss.
