Yeah, and just wait til the net hits 'by-the-byte' pricing. So we'll pay for wireless service by-the-minute and by-the-byte for our internet. Sweet.

wear tin foil hat much? There will NEVER be pure 'by-the-byte' billing by ISPs. There might be caps then you pay so much for going over, but never cost per byte starting from the first byte. Secondly talking on a cell wouldn't use up more than a GB perhaps 2 GB a month. And you'd have to talk a lot to do that.

Not only that... but

a) CAPS on service (through broaband ISP) would be an issue
b) Wireless carriers would have to wave the CAP on the current wireless data consumption as well as lower fees.

Why should I have to pay twice? I pay for my broadband ISP, then I pay for my wireless data which uses my broadband ISP and has caps/restrictions, etc.
