Okay, so maybe you’ll care , but you’ll still opt for the two-year option once your contract is up. That’s according — more or less, anyway — to a Verizon Wireless spokesperson, confirming to our inquiry this afternoon that the carrier’s one-year contract option will be eliminated on April 17th. The reason, as you might expect, revolves around historical customer preference. That’s a fancy way of saying that most customers prefer the stout hardware discounts that are available with a lengthier two-year agreement, and barring that, they can still choose month-to-month, prepaid or a rival. Not that VZW would encourage the latter, but hey — America’s about options, man.
