Big corporations try their best to make it easy on themselves to operate while still offering services at affordable prices to consumers - except Verizon. Sure, $2.00 isn't much to tack on at the end of a bill, but it does add up when paying for Verizon's 'not-so-cheap' 4G plans. And when consumers build their plans, they construct them to be as cost-efficient as possible. That's why it's hard to just let this one go.
