Verizon Won't Cap Its Unlimited Data Plans -- Here's How It's Getting Subscribers to Ditch the Plans
Verizon Communications reiterated its stance recently that it won't "throttle" its unlimited customers, according to CNET. That's a different approach than AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint, which havethrottled their unlimited customers in high-data traffic areas, and typically after they've surpassed 22 GB in a billing cycle.

Click on the slideshow below to find out why Verizon is making the change, and why other carriers will likely have to follow suit in the future.
