Verizon: Let Us Charge You More for Less!

“Imagine the power company offering you a shared electricity plan but charging you more for every device you plug into an outlet,” Wood said. “It makes no sense for consumers — and it’s all about dollars and cents for Verizon. The main goal of these new plans is to get consumers sharing more of their money with Verizon.

AT&T and Verizon don’t want a network that enables us to create, write, make, design, build and sell what we want — without restrictions or the need to ask permission from gatekeepers.

Al Jazeera America will soon be more widely available in U.S. markets thanks to a deal with Time Warner Cable, The New York Times reported today.

“The contract, to be announced on Thursday, is vital for Al Jazeera because Time Warner Cable supplies television to millions of households in New York and Los Angeles, two essential markets. Al Jazeera America will be added to the channel lineups in those markets this year, and in Time Warner Cable’s other markets by March,” The New York Times’ Brian Stelter reported.
