Verizon readies new pricing plans, iPhone not so soon
At an investor conference in New York, Verizon's CEO Ivan Seidenberg said that Verizon's new data plans would be different from AT&T's plans, but he didn't provide details.
Earlier Verizon Wireless had indicated, not to offer unlimited data plans for LTE services, instead to go for tiered pricing.
Verizon's move is similar to AT&T which has said no to unlimited data plans earlier in June.
TeliaSonera, which was selling an introductory LTE network plan with unlimited downloads, has now announced tiered pricing to limit downloads to 30 gigabytes with speeds between 10 and 80 Mbps for 599 kronor per month. See TeliaSonera announces new 4G pricing plans for details.
The CEO also said that as Verizon rolls out its 4G LTE network over the next year that Apple would get on board. "At some point, Apple will get with the program," he said, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A Verizon iPhone is likely to happen at some point but no so soon as rumored.
