I think a bunch of people are giving Verizon a hard time for this program but it at least has a much better value proposition than any other advertising system most people interact with. Google and Facebook slurp all your data with the justification that they will be able to personalize it better and you get nothing in return. Hopefully this may set a precedent so that others may follow.

What you get in return, is the ability/privilege to use Google, and Facebook. I'm not saying it's worth it, but it's not nothing.
Gmail. Google Maps. Google Search. Youtube.

I could go on. Those services do not exist for free!
