Verizon testing $15 a month flat-rate EV-DO data service

Even though their coverage is better, you have to admit that Verizon Wireless doesn't exactly have the most consumer-friendly data plans (they have a bunch of plans, none of which are exactly what you'd describe as affordable),
but that could be changing. They're currently test-marketing a new wireless data plan called Mobile Media that costs fifteen bucks a month (the same as Sprint PCS Vision) and gives you unlimited data usage and access to their new streaming video service (incidentally, the phone they're testing the service with is
LG's EV-DO-compatible VX8000, which is pictured at right). Assuming everything goes as planned, they'll be introducing the new service in January (we're guessing at the big Consumer Electronics Show).
