SOunds like, to me, anothe round of AOL-101. Launch ap roduct that they know they won't be able to handle and piss off a bunch of people in the process.
When AOL decided to move to an unlimited plan back in the late 90's, they did get alot of publicity, but they also took alot of heat and, IMO, they just chaled up a bad name that still today is branded on them.
So, is VZ trying to get attention? Simple answer, yes. They made it very clear that the $14.95 plan was to get it out there and gain/win over many customers to get the "captice auduence" and they have but at what cost?
Sure, some people with Cable Modem may be patient, but those with dial up wanting to switch are going to be soured and even more angry than they already might be.
Way to go VZ - once again you shine above the rest. Now, enters SBC/AT&T but people are resolut to be angry with them for many years now. |
