Sure it's more expensive to get into Disneyland now but I don't need to ration my E-tickets.

Same with unlimited Internet data plans, which they are now fighting to take from us by charging both users and service providers for the privilege of transport. Now that people have been hooked by a flat-rate mobile data network, they are going to double-up on revenue again. I'll bet that (1) the phones do NOT get cheaper, AND (2) the penalties for switching carriers do not go away. Data networking is cheap and getting cheaper, and congestion is self-regulating. The carriers just need to keep investing their 10% per year in infrastructure, and things will keep getting better.

Services need to improve for the same costs. Data profit?? Servers and other hardware has plummeted in cost. They have to improve the infrastructure and have already made billions. Don't try and burden the users and not take a reduction in profits while you invest in back into your business. Well I guess there are times that the level of greed cant keep up either.

I mean, 250% increase in revenue? And they're crying?! Think they might want to fulfill some of their advertised promises first. Otherwise, when a second iPhone carrier finally emerges in US markets, all ATT may hear is a giant sucking sound.
