Re: Here's what can happen when a monopoly has too much control!

Comparatively, mobile internet access goes for about $0.05 per MB or less.

Voice is over 80x more expensive than other data.

Of course, $0.05 per MB is still obscene.

Like with my data plan on my iPhone/tethering:

GB 1-6: $5/GB
GB 7+: $30/GB

I can almost accept $5/GB considering the limited bandwidth of cellular technologies, but $30/GB is just insane. At least I won't have to worry about getting a bill for tens of thousands of dollars unless I try to leave the country. Enter the US and from what I remember my data costs increase by something like 500x
