Verizon Wireless has released a PDF containing information about a new network management and throttling system today. Verizon stated "As part of our continuing efforts to provide the best experience to our more than 94 million customers, Verizon Wireless is introducing two new network management practices". The new technologies include network optimization and transcoding technology designed to transmit data files more efficiently, which allows them to improve network capacity.

This will only effect users that consume an "extra extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users, we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand"according to Verizon. This is designed to ensure that the other 95% of customers have a fast reliable user experience. We suspect that these new network management features are preparation for the upcoming Verizon iPhone 4.
