Yesterdays announcement that Yahoo and Verizon have teamed up to offer a new, lower priced, co-branded high speed internet package (details at CNET) came as no surprise. PaidContent.org had scooped the story on Monday.

Verizon spokesman, Bob Ingalls, stated, "We aren't dropping prices. This is a new product and we think there is demand for this kind of service from people who are now using dial-up." The package is offered at a speed that Verizon has not offered before, and at a price - $14.95 per month - that Verizon has not offered before.
