Verizon the latest carrier to tighten the data spigot: Network strain spurs new plans

The Boston Globe reports:

The days when cellphone users could get all the Internet, video, and downloads they want for a flat monthly fee are fading, as Verizon Wireless becomes the latest cellphone carrier to do away with unlimited data plans.

Beginning tomorrow, Verizon Wireless, the nation’s second-largest wireless carrier, will cap the amount of data downloads allowed under its $30-a-month wireless broadband plan; it will also unveil more costly options for users with big appetites for digital data.

Just a reminder.
