Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile  If you were one of those folks who have threatened to move to Verizon due to your outrage over AT&T's announcement that they would be dropping their unlimited data plans, you may want to move to Sprint instead.
Verizon's CEO told Businessweek that the company is considering a move in the same direction as AT&T and dropping unlimited 3G data in favor of tiered data plans. There was no mention of what the pricing structure might be. Verizon has already said they will offer their 4G service under a tiered pricing plan.

Apple and AT&T both had the overwhelming flood of customers rushing to pre-order the upcoming iPhone 4 crash their sites-in fact the problem got so bad that they, along with Best Buy, had to stop taking pre-orders all together.
Twitter suffered another outage as well, angering users who are getting fed up with the constant stability problems the site has had this month. They are blaming the huge spike in traffic caused by the disaster in the Gulf and now the World Cup for the problems. Finally, Intuit suffered a multi-day outage they are blaming on an "accidental" power outage at their data center. The outage knocked TurboTax, Quickbooks, Quicken, all the websites they host via their hosting service, and the main site offline.
