Verizon Wireless to slow down users with unlimited 4G LTE plans

"Verizon somewhat nonsensically claims this isn't "throttling" because
it doesn't happen 100 percent of the time. Throttling is still
throttling whether it happens one percent of the time or 100 percent,
of course. The point Verizon is really trying to make is that its
Network Optimization policy is a form of reasonable network management
needed to ensure a smooth experience for as many users as possible."

With that kind of doublespeak, Verizon could be writing press releases
for Czar Putin.
