Verizon customers who buy phones at full price can keep their unlimited data plans
“Verizon is going to have to pry that plan from my cold dead hands.” Don’t worry Sean Riley , you can keep that grandfathered unlimited data plan as long as you purchase your phone a full retail price. Today Verizon issued an updated statement to address concerns from subscribers that thought they might be forced to give up their unlimited data plans as Verizon migrates to shared data plans this summer.

I think it goes without saying that this whole patent “he said, she said” legal business has gotten a bit out of hand lately. Apparently, the US District for the District of Delaware agrees with the sentiment, and have ordered HTC and Apple to meet and talk about a potential settlement. It’s not clear if the CEO’s of said companies will make an appearance, with the court order only mentioning lawyers and “decision makers” from the appropriate parties. The meetings will be moderated by Magistrate Judge Sherry R. Fallon, and are scheduled to take place on August 28th. Something tells me this isn’t the last we’ve heard from Apple and their legal team
