It sucks what Verizon did with AC2. They did it because of complaints
about off-extended-network roaming charges, but surely they could have
made such roaming an option that subscribers had to call to have
enabled, expressly agreeing (again) to pay the roaming charges. Of
course this might look bad in terms of their marketing.
