Ain't progress grand?

Except that water is a required resource, not a luxury like more than 2 GB of 3G data.

I don't agree with that they're doing but it's technically within their rights.

Personally I'd prefer true metered data use. Pay for exactly as much as you use. Of course if that was the case, it'd probably cost a lot more than $25 for 2 GB unless they included a minimum fee.

Because they are giving it to us at a loss presently? How much does it cost them?

It would be like water companies realizing they have been sitting on a goldmine selling something so cheap that everyone uses and deciding you now have to pay $100 a month more if you use more than 20 gallons a month. Easy money since neither customer nor provider change anything. It's free cash.

Go back and look over how much each company has committed to upgrades in their network. They are each proud of how much they spend on infrastructure and flaunt it often in press releases.
