Verizon to join the connected car market as well

Hey Verizon! Stop. Really. Just stop. Stop trying to add services and content that customers will get from other sources. Your offerings in the connected devices market will be like the additional content services that you've offered in the past: Dull, uninspired, and overly expensive.

V Cast Video, remember this? Wait, don't worry... No one else does either. It's gone now, and good riddance.

V Cast Music with Rhapsody? Well, Rhapsody is still around, but the V Cast Music service is gone.

V Cast Apps? Less said about this one, the better.

VZ Navigator. The only success story here. That was before Google Navigation though. There are a lot of good points to VZ Navigator, but when you compare 10 dollars a month to free, there just isn't enough advantage to VZ Navigator to make it worth it.

There are more, but there's no point to listing them. Lowell McAdam, I wish you could see your company the way many of us consumers do. Every single new thing that Verizon Wireless comes up with seems to have a catch; some sort of built in way to bilk customers out of more money. We don't trust you. However, you have built an amazing network. What many of us want, is for VZW to be a dumb pipe, as it were. Just be the best one out there. Stop overcharging us. Especially for the little things.
