WiFi is an open standard, and LTE wont be nearly as accessible on nearly as many devices. Please. The only way verizon kills WiFi is by not allowing its phones access to it.

This includes everything from cars and refrigerators to video game consoles and computers." That sounds great, but when I see, "can be activated," I translate as, "can enable Verizon to collect a separate fee from me." With WiFi I pay a single monthly fee for the incoming broadband signal and my wireless router makes the signal available to any device with a WiFi card, no extra fee. With Verizon's plan, will I be paying a separate fee for every device with a SIM card inserted? If so, not interested. I already hate the cable/satellite TV model of paying an upcharge for every TV that is activated onto the service. I'm not switching to a broadband service that nickles and dimes me the same way, with each activation. “Any device that meets the minimum requirements can be activated on the network.
