NFL game streaming may be costly for Verizon Wireless users
The National Football League will live-stream the wild-card playoff games Saturday, but viewing them on smartphones could be costly for Verizon Wireless customers whose data plans are capped, says Public Knowledge, a communications advocacy organization.
“Watching all of those games would exceed the cap on data usage the company has imposed, and would cost customers extra money,” says Public Knowledge. The organization has launched a new website, Whatismycap.com, to help consumers monitor their data usage.
The NFL says it will live-stream Saturday’s wild-card playoff doubleheader, the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl both online and via NFL Mobile to Verizon Wireless customers.
According to Whatismycap.com, Verizon Wireless customers who have a 2 gigabyte limit can watch about 3 hours of television. With $10 per 1GB of overage charge, three additional hours of HD video content would cost about $20 more, it says.
