zaitcev comments on Verizon's EV-D0 service and its TOS, which basically seems to read as "Hey, buy our broadband mobile data service, but don't try to actually transfer any data over it or we'll shut you off."  (He also mentions that the service itself has a one-year minimum contract with abusively excessive early-termination fees.)

Is it just me, or are they, like, missing a basic point here?  Like, say, people who buy a high-speed data service are going to expect to use it for high-speed data transfer?

I'm still waiting for the Verizon guy to start going "Can you hear me now? Good .... you're in violation of your customer agreement."

There would, indeed, be a certain Orwellian irony to that. ;)
