Been with Verizon since day one and IMO, I'm seeing more marketing bull, 
as with most, if not all major corporations with deep pocket CEOs.
There will always be hidden costs to keep them in the game.

One issue which pisses me off is the Hot Spot feature. The fact they 
want to charge me for using a device through my phone simply proves 
their greed. Businesses nickle and dime us to death but the total 
benefits their pockets.
