competition will only drive prices down in a purely competitive market, which the US is not.
I totally agree there! Yea, I guess if people need this kind of thing, then at the moment, they have to pay this. I was just surprised, as I figured it would be more like $60/mo. (and even that is more than I'm willing to pay).
Currently, I'm in WiFi most of the time, so I just have a dumb-phone on pay as I go for emergency... so I'm only paying $10/mo. But, I think I might try to find a good MiFi type plan when I need Internet while away from WiFi.
Sorry for jumping in... I don't even have an iPhone (just iPod Touch, and hopefully iPad soon)... but the thread caught my eye.
