Great, so now that the new iPhone will allow multitasking, you won't be able to stream Pandora and use your phone as a phone. Better make sure to keep those grand-fathered accounts active.

Switched to Uverse, we'll see what that's like...phone, 12Mbps internet and 250 channels of crap for $150 a month.

My dsl is listed at $58 but it's normally $33. Long Distance is at $14.16 & "plans & services" is at $33.55. Upon closer inspection, I was charged $25 internet restoral fee - this is an error because the only thing that happened last month was their modem went on the blink and I called & they did something over the phone to fix it. I'm going to call them on that but that still makes the monthly bill $80.71

I remember a short time ago when t.v. was free, Netzero was free, and the phone was $15.
Communication sure is pricy these days.

What AT&T seems to have forgotten is that those power users really drive a lot their business. These power users know that they are power users and they recommend products and services to their friends/families/co-workers/companies.

The real story is that AT&Ts network sucks and they haven't put money into it. So to satisfy the non-power users that are complaining about performance, they're going to lose all of the power users that help drive their business.

If, and this is a big if, google and verizon were smart, they'd leap on this and offer sweet deals to switch. They'd also push out their tablet asap. We'll see I guess.

This is a bad move for AT&T and a bad deal for Apple.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't have a data plan but my wife does on our family plan. I've screwed around some with her SIM in my phone and I could see using some data because my phone has a GPS but between the existing cost vs data with no plan it didn't make sense.

140GB for a mobile? That's a lot of data!

WSJ has an article on this - the stock price chart is interesting.
