I know we all like to bash Verizon for being the evil carrier, trust me I have had my fun with it as well. But the reality is if you are not making money you are losing money and if you are losing money somebody is either losing their job or not getting a raise. We are all in it to make money that is the beauty of a capitalist society. We hold Google up like they care for the people. Look the reality is Google is in it for the money as well. Google made (and continues to make) their money off of ads. Google's mindset is believing customers are willing to give up some of their freedoms for a cheaper deal. Phones, wireless service, fiber, tv, all so that Google can push their services which they can use as leverage to companies wanting to get their information out there. Google literally can say "we can put your ad in the faces of potential buyers the entire time they are awake. When they go to set the temperature in the house, when they go to check the weather and email, when they turn their tv on to catch sports highlights, when they start their car to go to work, all the way until when they set their alarm before they lay their head on the pillow at night".
So yeah I am not angry that carriers are about their money as long as we as customers have options and we do. Does that mean we may not be able to watch youtube anywhere we want because some areas lack coverage, yup but is it Verizon's fault Sprint, T-mobile, Cricket, etc, do not offer the same coverage they do, nope. In fact that is the point, Verizon offers better coverage and in turn they have the right to set the terms for which customers are to agree to. If the customer disagrees they have the option to go elsewhere and that is capitalism in a nutshell.
