| This wont go over well Doing a business model like this will cause folks to jump to other carriers. If the Iphone leaves for another carrier this will cause a mass exodus. |

| They definitely will. Just look at the text messaging rates. For a long time they went down, then suddenly, they all went skyrocketing... |

| Absolutely. But it's not collusion if you don't keep meeting minutes. 
I agree that just like the 200% SMS price bump, a new metered billing paradigm will be hoisted upon consumers by wireless carriers pretty soon here.... |

Glad my carrier only charges $6/month for unlimited - actually, that's the only text plan they have: all or none. Incoming texts are free if you don't have a plan, otherwise 10¢ each. Alaska company GCI ftw |
