Verizon Wireless, facing a jump in data consumption as Apple Inc.’s iPhone goes on sale, said it will prevent users from downloading entire videos at once to help “ease capacity burdens on the network.”
Verizon will also eliminate some colors and other data from videos that it deems to be “not visible to the human eye,” according to the policy disclosed on its Web site. “The loss of information from the input file may result in reduced color accuracy and sharpness.”
