Is to make AT&T more money.
And although I *HATE* the idea, one could make the argument that if AT&T makes more money, they have more money for upgrades.

Sadly, a large chunk of that money will end up in the "christmas bonus" for the CEO.

continuing with that logic, everyone should pay $50 more per month because it will allow AT&T to have more money for upgrades.

If I had a choice between AT&T selling my browsing habits and paying metered fees, I choose sell the browsing habits. I really couldn't care less that some ad agency knows that I'm a geek.
