Verizon said it won’t “move forward with the planned implementation of network optimization for 4G LTE customers on unlimited plans.” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler applauded the decision (http://bit.ly/1oEeuzN), calling it “a responsible action.” Wheeler sent Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead a letter in July asking about the carrier’s announcement it planned to slow data speeds on its LTE network starting in October, but only for the top 5 percent of data users on unlimited data plans.
