[Electronics-talk] waiving $30 internet package with Verizon Droid, cause not fully accessible?

[John Riehl]

Tom, I am a Verizon customer and lodged an informal complaint with Verizon
because of the $30 additional data charge for obtaining the HTC Ozone phone.
Verizon attempted to satisfy me by waiving the data charge for three months
and allowing me to move to another carrier prior to the expiration date of
my contract if I wasn't satisfied with their accessibility. I am now
deciding whether to lodge a formal, legal complaint with the FCC formally
charging Verizon with violating section 255 of the communications Act, which
requires that they provide fully accessible technology "if readily
achievable". Mya rgument would be that all they have to do is waive the $30
a month data charge. I haven't decided what to do yet, as making a formal
complaint involves probably hiring an attorney.

Is it possible or anyone having the droid and Verizon $30 monthly charge
waived cause not fully accessible?

If so, then I assume no features could ever be updated?
Just want to use as a mini computer, outlook contacts and phone, don't need
internet.

Thanks
Tom
