Re: Verizon just doesn't get it.
You're right...the agreement is vague...probably intentionally. In any event, no one forced me to agree to it, but I did and I will abide by it.
I think what they mean in section 3 is that if you have a T1 line that you pay $600+/month for with a SLA and that line goes down, don't use this card as the backup. We for example use BRI ISDN in some cases for that purpose in remote offices.
We pay a lot of money for a T1 because the agreement we signed allows us to use it the way we want. This is the difference between a T1 with a Service Level Agreement and the EV-DO card that cost's $80/month. |

| I understand their complaint about running an office off an EVDO line Conversely, if my wife and I share the connection in a hotel room, I'm not sure what the complaint is. I suspect that there wouldn't be one, but you are always at their mercy.
Verizon should give thought to making these mobile hotspots legit. I'm sure that a number of limo companies, charter bus companies, and companies that regularly do trade shows, etc. would be very interested in this service. |

| I also suspect that they wouldn't give you a hard time about sharing the connection with your wife (what you do in the hotel room is your business,) but how to you write that into a TOS? That's why the TOS is so broad.
Verizon may be interested in letting a limo/bus etc. resell the servie, but not at $80/month. |
