Verizon has finally put the nail in the coffin. Customers upgrading to LTE smartphones with grandfathered unlimited data will be forced to switch to a new tiered data plan after Verizon begins offering its shared tiered data plans this summer.

Is Google+ failing? Google has been pushing Google+ since its release, trying to quash the Facebook behemoth before it becomes too big to stop.
