You even said it yourself, that is a bait and switch.
And?

My first point was that it's called bait and switch, not switch and bait.

My second point was that they wouldn't have to look back and scramble to think of some legal crap to cover their rears when realize that they're operating illegally if they would just take the time to think through the decisions they make in the first place. Wouldn't you prefer that they make good decisions that they don't have to weasel out of than what is happening right now?

I think some folks around here seriously prefer when a company screws up just so they can bash them.

We bash them not so much for screwing up but for changing the rules mid-game. Don't sell us one thing and then say, "OOOPS, sorry. We need to reduce our responsibility but we won't reduce the price."

What VZ did was not think through their decision. They wanted to get in the game so badly, they forgot to check the details. Someone at VZ screwed up big time.

I have seen cell phone companies advertise unlimited nights and weekends. So if I call a friend Friday at 9pm and leave the phone on and connected until Monday at 5am, is that wrong? No because that is what they offered me. If they want to limit me then don't give me unlimited and then redo my yearly contract. You promised, now deliver.
