Yahoo and the Online Universe According to Verizon

Giving advertisers access to smartphone users' data without
their knowledge could also be a problem for Verizon. "There's
the potential for using the consumer data they have, but they
have to tread a fine line," Mr. Wieser said. "Even if they get
a user to opt in, it doesn't take many complaints to get
hauled before the F.C.C." And in recent months, Verizon has
come under fire for possible violations of net neutrality
rules. In February, it emerged that Verizon had stopped
charging its wireless customers for data if they were
streaming video from Go90, a Verizon-owned site, leading to
scrutiny from the tech press. "This sort of clearly favoring
your own content raises all sorts of net neutrality concerns,"
Mr. Gillula said.
