Sigh. And this is why I trust businesses even less than I trust governments, which is very little too.

...And yet, I don't see T-Mo, Verizon and Sprint jumping on this bandwagon.

The fact is, AT&T will get butchered for this, and change their minds in the future. Of course, if AT&T were the government, it'd take 10 years for them to decide on a reform subcomitte for data plans, and another 10 to realize that the uncapped measure was better.

Data plans are a competition. If this is a bad deal for consumers, they'll drop AT&T en-masse to go to Sprint, Verizon or T-Mo. I can only see this working in Android's favor.

You honeslty think ATT will get butchered for this? If you want let's come back to this topic in a year and see just how well ATT is doing. I'd be willing to put down a bet that ATT will be jsut fine in a year's time. Remember how TW started doing tiered internet and uncapped internet? Glad government was around to put ome fear int them otherwise we'd be getting screwed over for internet as well.

As I said above , competition is no longer a part of the equation of the "free market" whoever can manipulate the masses the best wins. You think corporations spend millions on psychology studies just to compete better? I need some of your kool-aid.
