will retail reps slam this on to unsuspecting elderly customers accounts? of course!
normal people do not want this service from the phone company

this will be as profitable as wire maintenance plans on landlines
dozens of people perhaps as many as 50 may sign up
What a stupid initiative. AppleTV+, Amazon Channels already has this. Smells like a me too.
Vz needs to come up with new services that people will care and want to pay for. Right now it acts like a lead generator for others’ businesses. Free Disney+ for six months was just being a bounty hunter.
Makes you wonder if inmates broke out and have been running this jail.
It seems like nothing new. I can get showtime from appletv, amazone prime or other services and pay through them. Probably doesnt cost much for VZ so why not I guess
From what I'm seeing it's going to aggregate you're streaming services into one hub software? My cable box, roku, firestick and just about every other device already does this. Seems pointless.
I wish that that would stop bringing in all of these fools from the outside who do not know this business or its customers. The c-suite wants to be Tesla not the phone company.
Interesting. The point and click directory for streaming.
