AT&T's New Data Charging Scheme: It Is Explained!

I knew-because I saw a ton of pieces online about how the new AT&T; data pricing was a great thing for America!-that actually it will be not at all a good thing. It is a delight to feel vindicated. Let the machine that writes Felix Salmon’s blog posts explain: “AT&T; could easily have saved consumers all the trouble of having to try to predict their next month’s data usage by having a single plan: $15 for the first 200 MB, say, and then $10 per GB thereafter. They didn’t, because they’re looking forward to getting $30 per month from people exceeding 200 MB of data but who use nowhere near the 2 GB that ‘Pro’ users get for $25.” MM HMM.
