美媒评出2012年科技领域十大败笔

In June, Verizon unveiled its new Share Everything plans, which allow customers to pay a flat fee for each device, plus a single charge for shared monthly data, which ranges from 1GB to 10GB. The plan includes unlimited voice minutes and text messages and makes you pay for them, whether you need them or not. As a result, a 2GB data plan costs $100 on the new plan while 2GB with a limited number of minutes and texts cost $70 on the old plan.

6.最“敲竹杠”奖：数据共享套餐

今年6月，韦里孙公司公布了新制定的“分享一切”套餐，允许用户为每个设备支付固定费率，同时每月为各设备共享的数据流量单独付费，数据流量从1GB到10GB不等。套餐内通话和短信虽然上不封顶，但不管是否需要，消费者都要为这些服务付费。结果，按照新套餐，一项2G数据套餐要花100美元，而根据原来的限时计划，2G数据流量套餐仅花70美元。
