Why Isn't Verizon Even Trying To Offer More With MediaFLO & VCast?

Like I have said before I have been using MediaFLO aka VCast TV on and off for a few months now. The service is costly and offers A LOT of junk. I was majorly dispointed when I found out that horrible AT&T bought the exclusive rights to the Summer Olympics. Then I found out that AT&T also offers a movie channel through their MediaFLO service called PIX; which Verizon customers don't have access to. So this minimal offering adds to the already weak offering of VCast Clips. Which from what I have seen, are barely ever updated. I have been with Verizon for almost 3 months now and most of the clips I viewed on day 1, are still there.
I just don't understand what is going on with Verizon. They always try to be the first to the market with something new, but then they don't keep the offering good. Why does overpriced AT&T get to offer more content then Verizon? Even Sprint offers more, for less. I don't honestly think Verizon cares about their VCast offering. I think they view it as a way to get customers to buy the $15 Unlimited data plan. If they cared they would offer more content; with better quality; at better prices.
Do you know that with Verizon you can't buy an entire movie through VCast? You buy small clips for $1.99 a piece. So an entire movie would cost you over $100!

Does anyone here work for Verizon? Can you please explain why Verizon is Half-A**ing VCast? If Verizon really want to lead on all fronts; then why are they spending no effort on their advanced media services?


By the way, when I contacted Verizon about this the guy told me they have ZERO plans on fixing this. And Qualcomm just ignored me.
 
Vcast content is updated pretty regularly. As far as movies...who has time to watch a full length movie on thier phone, or better yet who would want to. Get a portable TV or dvd player. I think now days people are expecting cell phones to do everything they can do at home. Also one thing to look at is it anything verizon would make money off of..... when moible TV first launched everyone thought it was going to be the next best thing, but very few people even subscribe to the service.
