Every single one. I trim that shit all the time to keep it manageable and real. I believe I'm at 50ish now, and that's all I really care to have. Hell, I don't even regularly see/communicate with half of them anyway.

Plus I believe it adds 1-2GB onto the pool as well. Shared plans make a lot of sense, and think this is, overall, a smart move. A very tiny portion of Verizon's users will cry and moan and the rest will either be unaffected or will benefit.

Which would fail hard. Everybody signed two-year contracts for their data plans, and Verizon never promised them that the contract would last more than two years. Why does nobody understand that? Just because you'll be sad when your two-year agreement doesn't last forever doesn't mean anybody has to give a shit.

Unless they raise the price of unlimited. There's nothing stopping that.

I've said it on every article you've published like this and I'll say it again:

You take it off.

Answer: You take it off.

What about charger and headphone ports?

I have a feeling this is going to be everybody, including off-contract users. If there's no contract, there's nothing binding them to that plan.

Should yeah.

You know when you signed that first contract with ATT for two years of unlimited data to subsidize your phone? There was no clause in there saying that they have to renew it ever again if they don't want to. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, short of general goodwill and not wanting to upset people that's…

Hasn't sprint moved to grandfathered-only-unlimited too? If so, there's not necessarily any benefit to switching. Let the coverage/speed/devices be the decider, not just that Verizon's ending unlimited.

Verizon sold a product on a 2 year contract, with no promise that the contract would be valid for any longer than two years. That's what contract means.

Hmm. If your risk of X is 10%, 300% of that risk would be 30%? I dunno.

Well, Dropbox probably loves me for maxing out my references, that's how I got all of the space there. 512MB per reference adds up fast. SkyDrive grandfathered me into 25GB for having used it since the start, and I don't really know why Box was giving 50GB away to mobile users. I only use the Dropbox because…

Well, I've got 24.75GB free on my Dropbox account, so I think the others are really going to have to step their game up if they want me.

You see, that question is a trick. If you read a story question about the order of the alphabet, and had the following question:

The wisest animal was the owl, how can you not see that? He's an owl.

Really, only 7ish on Verizon? I reoutinely get over 14.

I don't know exactly how you see all of that as an issue. If Valve makes a custom PC runinng Windows, they'll easily be able to give it an interface that won't require you to ever install a driver or fiddle with backgroud processes.
