I'm really glad that in Australia we have a strong government consumer rights body, being the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commmission). Several years ago they banned the use of the word "unlimited" on ADSL (or any Internet) accounts unless it truly was no unlimited. If the account had "fair use" limits, traffic shaping or overage fees. The result? You buy the quota you want. Outside of Australia people seem to dislike the idea of quotas but the result is practices like surreptitious shaping. Quotas really are fairer and (IMHO) have the best end result. As for Verizon, I have a DroidX and live in NYC. My iPhone is useless in a lot of places. My Droid isn't. I can't help but think the net result of the Verizon iPhone will be that my DroidX will become equally useless.
