Verizon and binary content

Verizon is getting ready to allow off-portal download of multimedia content such as ringtones, wallpapers, games, etc. The first programs are scheduled to go live in April/May. Preliminary pricing points to a fixed outpayment percentage regardless of retail price, which is different from Verizon's regular outpayment schedule. This means that outpayments are going to be relatively more interesting for lower price points (<$1.99), and less interesting for higher price points.
