Re: i will walk Other carriers have been doing this already, for quite some time. For example, on AT&T low-end phones you have their MEdiaNet walled garden web service; nothing like a full-featured web browser.
So I don't see how this is new, or should be considered news. Or even considered deceiving: on their website, MetroPCS makes no claim to offer "internet access" at their low-end $40 plan; what they claim is a rudimentary web access, similar to what AT&T long-offered MEdiaNet on their low-end phones and plans. If you want to purchase full-featured web browsing (what they call HTML browsing) you have to pay more for it; again just like other carriers, where you have to pay more for a real data plan.
Once again it seems to be the press ginning up a controversy for their own benefit. |
