Verizon imposed these limitations despite being informed that throttling was actively impeding County Fire's ability to provide crisis-response and essential emergency services.
The moment Verizon staff deliberately stepped over that line
What makes you think a single Verizon employee did a darn thing never mind "deliberately"? This is all coded into their system with zero human decision making. It just never even entered into the design requirements that if customer is emergency services provider, allow un-throttled bandwidth.
You know damned well a customer threatening to leave might have the salesma, er, retention specialist flip a few virtual switches on his account and give discounts, free upgrades to no throttling, and so on.
So please. Corporations like that have enormous investment in easy control over their networks and products on a per customer basis.
Usually companies and people are pretty good at helping in emergencies. The exceptions are lackies too scared to make a command decision (go look up the Standard Operating Procedure theory of history) so do the wrong thing by doing what they are supposed to (e.g. the Starbucks or whatever that charged money for bottled water to the fire department who needed it for eyewash on 9/11.)
I would definitely want to know who refused to put them back on unlimited speed after multiple notifications.
"They shouldn't expect free stuff!"
"You're fired. We have to spend millions now to dig our way out if this publicity hole. We'll mail you your stuff "
How's half million dollar taxi medallions owned by big companies, who then literally rent it out by the 8 hours for an exhorbitant amount the driver must scurry about for just to barely break even by the end of his shift working?
The lawyers who took down Napster would like to have a word with you about illegitimate protocols, defined as a protocol whose nontrivial uses, percentage-wise, are to avoid royalty payments for intellectual property.
It is perhaps fitting the guy who invented the protocol struggled to find a way to profit from it given all the clones.
In the words of Dr. Dean Edell, this is the "Vitamin D decade", where doctors want you to take it as prophylactic to heart disease. See previous "Vitamin E decade" and "Vitamin C decade".
His radio show reviewed little medical releases and the supporting science behind them. Quacks found it tough going.
It's too bad he went off the air while quack infomercials continue to reign and even a few quack doctor shows, or at least quack-friendly (to say nothing of regular talk shows, studied as medical "disinformation vectors".
Long story short, D will probably peter out as useless like all other vitamin supplements, sans actual demonstrated defficiency illnesses in a patient.
He was very good disassembling add verbiage, pointing out legally meaningless phrases like "promotes good xxx", the reliance of useless testimonials (also cleansed of real claims) and the law firms in DC that literally specialize in helping you craft lying distortions that pass legal muster.
There was a study that claimed 1 of 6 wasted dollars on needless tests was fear of liability, while 5 of 6 wasted dollars was on doctors over-ordering tests needlessly because they get to charge a little bit to process the results. Waste for pennies on the dollar.
Much like Congress slinging billions because someone donates $50k.
Once giant car companies slam their fists about safety features, and useful idiots who have no concerns of regulatory costs, and congressmen looking for political donations start raging threateningly, this already overpriced 12k Euro car goes to 20.
"Three wheels = motorcycle = get away with a lot less? No! The car companies cannot be allowed to slack on safety blah blah blah!"
Nice, but I will post my usual caveat about mitigating global waming. Be careful lest you overshoot and induce another ice age, which can come on in as little as a year or two (just need one summer where the snow doesn't melt and you're screwed.)
Then you won't cause inconvenience moving in from the seas over decades to a few centuries, but will catastrophically and quickly kill billions via starvation.
Unless it's a collector's item, lol, or you still owe money, double lol, yes you should have canceled all insurance except liability as required by law.
I know a guy who got a dog and called it a company mascot and had his company pay for all the pet supplies. People will try anything, it doesn't make it right.
And, since it was in Cupertino, the city government decided the mascot dog was worth $479,000 dollars, pay your property tax on it.
The value of the property should be worth closer to what it costs to replace than what it costs when a hot company is existing there. How much is it worth if Apple abandons some buildings and leaves them empty?
They are significantly safer than cigarettes. All else is people wittingly or not in service to big tobacco trying to get the competition expensively regulated or outlawed.

The US blew up a satellite in the 1980s to prove they could. It pissed off my astronomy professor because it was a perfectly good radio telescope satellite. IRAD I think it was called.
I use only https so nobody but me and the porn sites I frequent knows what I'm up to. Oh, and Amazon and Google ads, who they report my activities and what I click on, with IP address. So everyone on the planet knows, and we're all waiting for a leak of this data ALA South Park.
This assumes (and I don't know) that fast charge can be done with a gradient of speeds, rather than all-or-nothing, which might be the case as it uses special cords and jacks with dedicated additional power wires.
I guess if the problem is heating of older batteries, they could monitor the heating and fall back to slow charge, then ramp back up. But then you're introducing many more heating/cooling cycles leading to metal fatigue. Probably not the best thing for older batteries.
So once problem detected, permanent fallback to slow charge, and here we are.
One of those is being an asshole, the other threatens someone with death or serious bodily harm.
How for her to tell the difference: wait for the attack to start.

Yes, free gig is much worse pressure than that.

You would, if you were expecting a higher quality picture than what the phone actually produces.
From a Supreme Court ruling: The idea that some must be silenced "to enhance the relative voice of others is wholly foreign to the First Amendment."
Hmmmmm...I've done many simulations of sex with stewardesses online. I think I will be good at it too!

Clearly Apple will learn to drive a much harder bargain to stop predatory taxation, when deciding where to locate more buildings.
Doing everything legal to avoid taxes is good behavior, not bad. Skipping this is foolish, if lazy, or generous, if deliberate.

They were asking the wrong questions of adults, who are just as easily swayed.

"Ok."
See? Easy to sway.

This is just a combo of lousy instruction combined with grass-is-greener syndrom.

This wouldn't be a problem if you could change the $15 battery yourself once a year.
Don't you feel ripped off, doing slow charging, because of this? That's sad.

Well, hacked water heaters are a danger. Why not hacked air heaters?
It would need testing. It could blow out a fire but the fire might re-ignite anyway because of many superheated cores well beyond fire starting temps.
