It IS a function that was advertised, it exists, and it uses a taxpayer-funded public-domain satellite platform, not the cell towers. It's just plain highway robbery for VZN to charge extra per month for something to which VZN adds no value.

I think Microsoft has a corporate VZN account (Bill Gates' picture is on one of VZN's marketing brochures). I'm sure there are other major corporate accounts. Maybe if enough corporate contacts start to complain to VZN, they will respond. Surely the individual complainers don't outnumber the ignorant masses who gladly pony up the $10/mo for VZNavigator. Maybe, at a minimum, more corporate accounts can negotiate inclusion of VZNavigator in their corporate plan at reduced cost.

Any takers?
