Re: Ya think

Don't be a corporate apologist. You don't even know half the story. Regional carriers offer better data plans than the likes of AT&T and Verizon, and yet those 2 own all the special access lines that everyone rents from them to provide bandwidth for their 3G networks. It's been well-documented they put huge, huge markups on the price of the lines.

Exorbitant profit doesn't encourage competition when the barrier of entry to the market is insurmountably high.

You can go to Europe and buy a completely unlimited *pre-paid* plan for $70. That should tell you about the "fairness" of the 5 GB cap.
