Yup.

Even were I inclined to pay for such a service, I would want it to be with the service provider I already have, not one that GM or anybody else chooses for me. (And that certainly wouldn't be the thing that calls itself "AT&T.")

In addition, my next car (which I expect to be in the market for next year) cannot have an infotainment system geared to a specific device e.g. iPhone.

They have been doing this with onstar already, now they are just using the newest cell radios.

There are a lot of people that use onstar, it is very profitable for GM.
Just think you are probably average so 50% of the country is dumber than you and those are the people who would pay for onstar.

Think You Know All About Distracted Driving? Think Again, Says AAA

WASHINGTON, D.C., (June 12, 2013)รข€“Hands-free technologies might make it easier for motorists to text, talk on the phone, or even use Facebook while they drive, but new findings from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety show dangerous mental distractions exist even when drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road. The research found that as mental workload and distractions increase reaction time slows, brain function is compromised, drivers scan the road less and miss visual cues, potentially resulting in drivers not seeing items right in front of them including stop signs and pedestrians. This is the most comprehensive study of its kind to look at the mental distraction of drivers and arms AAA with evidence to appeal to the public to not use these voice-to-text features while their vehicle is in motion.
