Verizon Wireless has responded to quite a bit of criticism for not activating Google's Nexus 7 following its launch.
Consumers who got their hands on the new Google tablet earlier this week were in for an unpleasant surprise when they tried to activate the device on Verizon's LTE network. It didn't take long before tweets were aimed at Verizon about the issue.
Verizon's response didn't exactly inspire confidence.
@jeffjarvis I'm excited you got your Nexus 7 but not all LTE tablets are created equal. It's not part of our line up & can't be activated^JH
