Re: 2 year contract with...

I'd rather have them make it a premium product at $100/100GB. Keeps the kids off the network while still in reach for the average business person. Thats over 3GB a day so I can conduct work during the day and still watch some Slingbox while I am away from the fort on the road or at the airport.

Until they open up the floodgates, I would consider 5GB reasonable for ~50/month, and $80 for 200GB/month.
It is wireless, so I do expect a premium... but 5GB is too low for a locked in contract.
I'd use my cell phone tethered and pay month to month, unless I had business that I could justify it.

5GB cap for a laptop connection?
What are they smoking.
No shit. Bump the cap to 25 GB, knock the monthly rate to $40 and maybe it might be worth it for those who have no other interent option. 25 GB isn't much but I understand wireles companies can't offer 250 GB caps like comcast so I think I'm being more than reasonable.
