Well it is great to see that the power is still with the People! This article is an admission that what the people want they had better get or else. Verizon is wise enough to see or maybe keep tally of its customers who communicate what they want, as far as service and product.
You saw how phone number portability was so popular, by gosh so would be phone portability. These phones aren't getting any cheaper, especially with all the new features and capabilities. As they move towards all of these new uses, the price keeps going up. Now if we could just get the makers of these devices to make something that would last as long as the contract, then they we would really have something.
With the economy slowing, and the signs of a serious tightening of the belt by the consumer. These companies had better pay attention to the direction that we the consumer will have to go. Maybe having even to cut back on the amount we have been spending on our little gizmo's due to economics.
