RE: T & VZ I did not realize how much those monthly fees are. I use a pre-paid minutes plan on my Android smart phone and use no data/internet but only when connected to WiFi. It looks like these cell phone fees may/could be like the cable companies and at some point may be disrupted by new next generation technology. I have been a cable cord cutter for 3 years now and really do not miss any of their programming w/ all the streaming technology. FWIW, I heard GOOGLE is working on a technology to complement their dark fiber project to equip all the airliners w/ powerful WiFi repeaters to build an active cell/wifi network in the sky (30K feet). A R&D developer friend is helping design the new antennas so I do know it is in R&D phase only. It's just a sophisticated switching network in the sky. Maybe another reason I should take some of those T & VZ proceeds and start a position in GOOG. EKS
