If you drove up to the gas station and the attendent forced you to purchase the "premium" gas rather than the regular stuff just because you had a nicer car than the next guy you would look at him in bewilderment because of the rediculous logic. Same here with these debates which are taking place now.

Why does Verizon need to choose what's "best" for me? For years I determined what was best for me and now they insist that a data plan is also "best" for me. Stupid!

I'm glad you admit it is because of their hidden agenda to build up the towers, etc.
If they want to invest in infrastructure they should use their PROFITS to do it, take a little less so that users who want to pay for that portion of their service will do so on the merits that they NEED and will benefit from Verizon's sacrificial investment.

Until then........ Long live Page Plus Cellular=D>
