Continuing its aggressive broadband push, Verizon Wireless on Monday announced key expansions into several markets along with a 25 percent cut to its monthly subscription fee. The wireless carrier,
owned by Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group PLC, dropped the price of its evolution-data optimized, EV-DO, monthly service fee from $79.99 to $59.99. At that price point, according to
JupiterResearch analyst Joseph Laszlo, wireless service becomes a legitimate alternative to DSL and cable modem, as well as Wi-Fi services. -- Gavin O'Malley
