200MB cap is useless for a laptop.
Lets assume that I telecommute, or work on the road.
A 3G/DSL bundle WOULD be good.
A 200MB cap is rediculous.
This isn't WAP data we're talking about.

San Jose, CA | I agree about the 200MB cap on the 3G side. That is pretty low. Looks like AT&T is banking on the old voice sales model: "We'll get 'em on overages!" |

Besides a great market for soon to be "unlocked" netbooks, the really cool tech will be GPS enhanced Netbook recovery, in case your machine is lost or stolen.
That would be a feature that they could sell.
And what about some real usage cap tiers?
500 MB, 2.5 GB, 5GB, 15 GB. |

Yeah, 200 MB is ridiculous. A few-minute YouTube video is 10 MB. I can hit 200 MB surfing on my smartphone in a month. |

This isn't WAP data we're talking about. I agree, 200MB is too low for a computer (as opposed to a cell phone). I think the idea of the bundle is a great idea, however it should come with the standard 5GB of data.

Re: Would be good... except for the 200MB cap.
Get real. Were you really expecting 5gigs on the $60 bundle? Stockholders were pissed enough with the $10 DSL 'giveaway' when they acquired BS. They sure as heck weren't going to put up with ATT cannibalizing the existing 5gig plan. |

That's what maybe 3 movies downloaded from Amazon or about 15 minutes of Hulu a day. |
