For $15.00 monthly access added to their Verizon Wireless calling plan, customers get the V CAST VPak that includes unlimited access to a wide array of more than 300 daily updated video clips from leading content providers, including CNNtoGO Video. Unlimited basic video clips are included, but application download fees will still apply for 3D games, premium video clips and all other Get It Now(R) applications. There are no airtime charges to download or stream and watch CNN video clips and other V CAST content. For a limited time, customers who sign up for V CAST will receive two months of service free. Verizon Wireless V CAST customers also receive monthly access and unlimited browsing on Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0(SM) news and information service.
