Wildman, guess someone blocked the site you mentioned. I clicked on your url and only got a white page with "FORBIDDEN" written at the top.

ditto
The period at the end of his sentence is being included in the URL. Just click the link, and when you see the "Forbidden" error delete the tiny dot at the end of the URL in your browser's URL bar.
Key bullet points for me in this article

Those rates are absurd. If you will notice, they are the same rates as for Mobile Broadband. So you get no breaks for paying for monthly minutes.
I truly believe this move will only hurt VZW as many of us legitimate large data users will take our business elsewhere. Others who use less data will simply opt for the lower priced plans, which will be the VAST majority of users.
I agree, since I normally user 6-7 gigs I will be looking at 60.00 to 70.00 just in data fees alone. Since the article said they would Grandfather users into the original 29.99 unlimited plan even on contract renewal I think I can work with that but I wont see if this is true until I go to renew.

That url worked great. So far, I don't even have 1GB, close, but not yet. I thought for sure that between all my Emails, all my upgrading apps, the internet surfing, and listening to Pandora radio that I would have a couple of GB by now. It's nice that they are grandfathering us. But more important, when our contract is up and we get a new phone, we still can keep the unlimited data. At least this is the way I read it.

Trouble there is that if enough people jump the VZW ship and go to, say Sprint, they too will probably do something like raise prices because of the data usage.
My usage fluctuates between 1.5 gigs to 3.5 gigs. I could cut out some internet radio at work ( would rather not), but it looks like we will get a grandfather clause for at least a while.
but if they don't grandfather a smartphone upgrade, then there will not be a LTE upgrade in my foreseeable future.
