Lets wait and see what the resolution is. As someone in that thread pointed out Verizon has people specifically for Chromebooks. I'm not a Verizon apologist, but it sounds like this needs to come to some sort of definitive resolution before we turn on the Internet Rage Machine(tm).

You didn't read far enough...

> I called them up again, reaching for technical support after dialing in my MDN number. I got a representative who this time said the 'promotion' was cancelled January 14th.

Just Verizon being a bad citizen again? Nexus 7 LTE not allowed on their network (Even though they were suppose to with the spectrum they leased from all of us who are US Citizens the spectrum we all own to the carriers through the US Government)

I don't give money to Apple and I don't give money to Verizon. I also blocked from my DNS CNET and HuffingtonPost. All Bad Citizens

An important point not to be missed. Repeatedly, these organizations make agreements in order to gain benefits, and then proceed to bald-facedly renege on their portion of the agreement.

And... no one holds them to account!

At this point, I think they should be investigated criminally and prosecuted for fraud. If and as it becomes apparently they entered these agreements with ill will and with the intention to renege, this is no longer a civil matter.
