...option to choose both device and service separately, companies will be forced to improve their contracts and connectivity rather than simply coasting on the bells and whistles that their devices can offer, and vice-versa. Verizon’s decision also gives the consumer a wider variety of options. Multimedia and technology companies have increasingly shunned such an approach, instead restricting consumer access to the things they have already purchased.
