| Metered billing. My problem is that as a user I don't know what a 50 mega byte horse looks like. Is it big, heavy, what are it's dimensions? How many web pages can I down load or messages can I send? Of couse one can do calculations which most of us wouldn't understand the output of but that's not the point. Default all you can use fixed rate leads to bandwidth control as carriers have to make money. Most reasonable rate plan in Japan has Hewett Packard as an MVNO using 10 yen per minute on their NetBook which comes preloaded with 100 minutes and a 3G (HSDPA) module embedded. Of course no contract!!! You can recharge in 1000 yen (10$) increments up to 10K yen with one click right from the NetBook screen..... Nice. |
