Goodbye, Verizon Hub
Filed in archive Hardware on September 30, 2009
The Verizon Hub is no more.
"Verizon Wireless today said that they are terminating the Verizon Hub, an innovative VOIP home phone that doubled as a Web tablet and digital photo frame... The Verizon Hub died from a terminal service plan and confused retail strategy involving an expensive $34.99 monthly fee and a perplexing requirement that owners also have a Verizon Wireless cell phone," writes Gearlog's Sascha Segan. "It is survived, only barely, by its first cousin the AT&T Home Manager."
"The good news is that current Hub owners should be good to go without disruption in service — for the time being, anyhow," notes Engadget's Chris Ziegler.
"I do think there's room on many of our kitchen counters for this sort of device," writes ZNF's Dave Zatz. "So I hope to see Verizon give it another go with a more robust platform and a better marketing/deployment strategy in the not-so-distant future."
