Verizon wireless Price change - unlimited talk

Verizon has finally realized that despite the better service -money talks and bull walks.. well, in this case, the bad economy and hard times are more of a factor than better service.

People have been moving to Boost and Metro pc [ even if it is crappy service ] mainly because of the price. Also { I presume } in response to Sprints attempt to desperately keep it's remaining customers from leaving [ unlimited talk and everything low price campaign ] Verizon finally lowered some prices in it's price plan.

But is it enough?

Plans that will be done away with:
Premium plan and connect plan * will be discontinued and will need to be changed by feb 1, 2010.

To be honest, I do not see any savings to the regular user. Those people that already were paying for unlimited talk or unlimited talk and text will see a savings. Other issues with these changes is the fact that all the cool phones people like are now required to have atleast a minimum data plan of $9.99.
