Speed Bills: Here Comes Verizon's Pay-as-You-Go 4G Network

October 06, 2010

Perhaps the biggest issue for Verizon will be how consumers react to metered pricing -- particularly since Sprint continues to offer an unlimited data access plan for its 4G network, Harry Wang, director of mobile research with Parks Associates, told the E-Commerce Times.

"Our research shows that when given a choice, 60 percent of consumers will choose an unlimited data plan," he said, "and only 12 percent like a capped plan."
