On Thursday, Verizon’s Ivan Seidenberg made it clear that the days of unlimited data at Verizon are coming to a close and that tiered data plans would soon be introduced.
While we don’t have a lot of information yet, we know that according to Seidenberg, the tiered pricing will be here within the next 6 months and that it will be different than what AT&T offers. Seidenberg made the point that AT&T and Verizon look at the value of data differently. We are not clear whether this means higher or lower pricing. AT&T currently offers 200MB of data per month for $15 and 2GB of data per month for $25. Verizon currently offers unlimited data for $29.99.
Among the list of the things we don’t yet understand is what will happen to current customers. Will they be allowed to keep their unlimited data or will there be changes for their plans as well?
We also don’t understand when exactly the rollout of the new plans is scheduled to take place. It makes sense, however, that it will coincide with the launch of Verizon’s 4G LTE service scheduled for the end of 2010. We expect to hear many more details in the weeks and months to come and we will most definitely share this information as soon as we have it.
