[BC] Our Worst Nightmare - on the way

[Mike Murrell]

Note that Verizon will cap your data usage even when paying extra per MB
UNLESS you sign up for their TV plan and things of that nature.  In one
instance a local guy was streaming radio and they claimed it was excessive
usage and turned his phone off and dropped his account.  I believe a similar
thing happened somewhere else around the country with either Verizon or
another carrier.  He was signed up for unlimited but there is a limit to
unlimited if you read the fine print.
Just an fyi
Mike

Here's what I find for Verizon:
Monthly Allowance  	Monthly Access  	Per MB Rate
After Allowance 	Plan Includes
	5 GB
	$59.99 	$0.25 	Data access for Internet browsing, email, or
Intranet access

View All
	50 MB
	$39.99 	$0.25

If you have a small number of listeners spread over a wide area, cellular
and webcasting make economic sense. If you have a large number of users in
a small geographic area, broadcast appears to be a more economical method
of delivering programs to listeners.
