Yahoo Mobile: the Verizon Phone Plan That No One Asked For (arstechnica.com) 5
Yahoo Mobile costs $40 a month and provides “unlimited” data, with a caveat. “In times of traffic, your data may be temporarily slower than other traffic,” the announcement said. With the more expensive Verizon-branded unlimited service, customers have the option of buying plans with no data slowdowns until they use 25GB, 50GB, or 75GB in a month. With Yahoo Mobile, the speed limits can be imposed any time the network is congested, regardless of how much data a customer has used. Yahoo Mobile also comes with an “unlimited mobile hotspot for use with one connected device at a time,” but those hotspot speeds are capped at 5Mbps. The Yahoo plan doesn’t have access to Verizon’s 5G network, though that’s not really a big deal yet. Aside from the Yahoo-specific aspects, Yahoo Mobile is essentially the same plan offered by Visible, a Verizon subsidiary.

Must be depressing for Yahoo to know that with the lead they had with Yahoo Instant Messenger, along with the infrastructure and name recognition they had, they could have easily captured the Slack/Teams space…
(Yes, I know, ICQ, IRC… Yahoo was “big corporate” though.)
