And the real reason

I wonder if the real reason for them to switch to "no contract"/"no credit" is:
a) to minimize their exposure to bad debt (someone who doesn't pay for a month gets cut off immediately instead of waiting for another half a month/collections etc)
b) kill off "legacy plan" and jack up prices (if you are month to month, there is no contract, so they can raise prices for your plan once a month for all practical purposes with no grandfathering option)
c) get out of phone subsidy game (you want something that manufacturer claims is $600? You pay $600, and not $45 with 2 years contract)

Plans kinda suck anyways, except for basic unlimited talk. My current employer discount on ATT gives me 600 mins + rollover + m2m, unlim data, unlim text for less than this "dark" deal
Oh well.
I'd go with Sprint if I wanted cheap 3G anyways
