Could this be the end of Unlimited data plans as a whole? As AT&T recently decided to withdraw their unlimited data plan and designated a tiered data plan based on data usage, it seems like their biggest rival may soon follow later in 2010 around the launch of Verizon’s 4G LTE. Verizon has been testing their LTE network in Boston and other locations and said they are trying to reach over 100 million users by the end of 2010.
“We will probably need to change the design of our pricing where it will not be totally unlimited, flat rate,” John Killian, chief financial officer of Verizon.
Verizon is not expecting to launch LTE handsets this year but we could possible look for LTE modems later this year. Right now there is no official word from Verizon sharing potential tiered plans nor pricing for these plans, but they have hinted enough that we could look forward to as we arrive closer to the launch of LTE.

This could also mean, that large media content providers such as ‘News Corp’ may decide to fill the gap left by O2 and AT&T’s withdrawal of unlimited usage and supply connections for legitimate Unlimited Downloads of both Movies and Music.
This could easily be done by applying the ‘Platform High Capacity Super Controller System’ via apps for the New Smart Phones and iPads etc. Murdoch’s alleged ‘New Unlimited Broadband’ has to be truly unlimited as it would be streaming HD and 3D movies, then News Corp could begin to corner the market, thus his share prices would rocket even more. Failure by other networks to upgrade sufficiently to cope with the ever-increasing demands would be to Murdoch’s advantage.
BT has had the formula for the ‘Platform High Capacity Super Controller System’ since 1995, yet failed to re-invest into the new HC system, which can cope with an astounding increase of over 72,000% of additional user capacity. BT may have my program etc for trials, but not the systems integration’s Technology as will only be released by disclosure agreement. Link to proof document here: http://tinyurl.com/ycsgu49 by restricting the Data Caps you restrict sales. Hence it is imperative that all Networks invest the new ‘High Capacity System’ or face losses and inevitable gridlock.
Obviously I am aware that resistance by Network Operators to apply my HC System is perhaps because it would give those who invest in HC, ‘Global High Capacity Control of Global Networks’.
