"T-Mobile is cutting wireless-data subscription prices in half to lure more people onto its new high-speed cell phone networks, an executive with the German wireless provider said on Wednesday." Cool, but then they said "Under the new T-Mobile pricing plans, a megabyte of data costs $10, which is about half as much as European carriers now charge." 8O
What are you guys in Europe paying? I pay them $20/mo. for 10MB which is $2/MB, not $10/MB. Is that a misprint? The final quote was exactly on target! "Carriers have been pricing data based on spreadsheets, not on what consumers are willing to pay." Alex - I'll take "Things that make you go 'Duh!' for $100 please."
