Does the ruling from FCC say "NO" so-called older 'non-share' plans.

or does any document from Verizon say they agreed to only share plans?

there arguments don't make any sense.

The FCC ruling I posted clearly mention Verizon's "revised" plans.

Verizon is also blocking first party app... the inbuilt hotspot using their carrier settings.

what is your argument to that?

"open" network rules means just that - "open".. inbuilt app sold by the iphone by verizon also falls under that category.

It's not blocked if you're on Share Everything.

Brian, please do me a favour and don't reply to me anymore.

I did and they said its suppose to be given all new customers get everything plan but depending on who you get there's a chance you could get the old plan. No I am not a third party Vzw rep. Best buy won't even do the old plans. They are told to do everything plan. If you want teathering jump up to hotspot/data or everything plan. Vzw is not going to change.

Well I was talking to Brian, not you.

The stores have more access to internal plans than what is offered online, which I made clear like a 100 times now.

Verizon will have to follow the rules. If they "need" to change because of that, then so be it.

Didn't they offer you both choices?

[electronicsguy]

Ofcourse. I chose this because it suits me better. I don't talk unlimited and I would rather have 450 min + 2gb data with $70/month than just 300 MB + unlimited talk.

thats what plans are right - you choose what is best for you.

but under the rules, tethering should be included in this plan. Now before you ask me why I want to tether on this - thats really my business and nobody elses.

Verizon IS following the rules. You have 3 choices.

A) Stay on your current plan and add tethering for $20

B) Switch to Share Everything

C) Download a 3rd party tethering app and use it and hope Verizon doesn't catch you.

[electronicsguy]

I will do none of that Brian, since I don't need to.

and i don't need to do any sneaky things like you.

But verizon does need to follow FCC rules, which they dont seem to.

Are you out of any other conspiracy theories or do you have any more of those to make, rather than cogent arguments?
