VERIZON WIRELESS TO LAUNCH 4G
On Sunday, Verizon Wireless will launch its LTE network, FT writes. The launch will cover 110 million people in 39 U.S. markets and 60 airports. Monthly service plans will start at USD50 for 5GB of data. Tony Melone, senior vice president and chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless said Verizon’s network would deliver superior performance over rivals that have begun marketing their services under the 4G name. “This is the real deal,” Melone said. Verizon aims to sell 4G compatible phones and service plans next year.

US CABLE GROUPS WIN GROUND ON NET NEUTRALITY RULES
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski on Wednesday endorsed "usage-based pricing" that would allow broadband providers to charge extra for providing heavy Internet users with high volumes of online video or data-heavy services such as online games. Genachowski’s support of pay-as-you-go pricing represents a victory for cable and telecom companies because it clarified whether broadband providers had the power to charge by what users consumed. The plan will allow mobile operators more freedom than regulators had originally proposed to prioritize some types of traffic on their networks over others. It would, however, prevent them from blocking services outright.
