EmailVerizon announced that it is bringing back an unlimited data plan to its mobile plans, becoming the last of the major U.S. mobile providers to do so. As people use more and more data on their mobile devices, mainly consuming video, carriers have re-introduced unlimited data plans.

Video uses the most amount of data to stream and upload, so it is no surprise that as more high quality video is demanded on mobile devices, plans will reflect that.
