Alarm Clock Feature to be Disabled

Following the Bluetooth and iTunes control by carriers, the alarm clock feature on the Verizon phones will be disabled, the way they are going. Tonight I will go to bed and set the alarm for 6am.

Tomorrow, I might have a notice from Verizon that the feature will only be as a paid-for in network "wake-up call" for which I would pay fifty cents for.

It's time we all wake up to this monster.

Legislation is needed to stop the greed from controlling our personal devices.
