There is no free lunch

As we all bash the newcomer there are some enticing aspects to this company's offering that exceed the mouth watering "no cap" deal (I'm sure this cannot last for long before the abusers bring them to thier knees).

1. For the sometime traveler to major metro areas the month to month terms are enticing. I don't need 3G for more than 3 to 4 months a year. The ability to turn it on and off at will is a nice feature for some.

2. The $40 per month price is very reasonable even if there were a cap. I have paid $10 a night for web access in some hotels and RV parks.

So far I have not found a 3G plan that doesn't require a full year (or more) contract. In my case 3G costs would drop from $720 a year to $120-$160. But even if I kept it on for the full year it would only be $480.

I'm goona give em a try.

The number of `abusers` is so small they really has no effect on the overall picture. How can such a tiny % of users bring a network `to its knees`? AT&T`s network wasn`t brought to its knees by a few iPhone users. It was strained by all the users using their connections.
