The whole point of smart devices is Internet access, right?
So if that becomes prohibitively expensive, then what?
Are we going back to flip phones, newspapers and snail mail? Paying all our bills by check?
How far back toward the Dark Ages are we going?
I ask because I haven’t replaced my phone yet (it went through a soaking and spin cycle in the washer, only works for calls now, sometimes texting) because if Internet use is about to become a thing only some people can afford, I probably won’t be in that group so I won’t be paying for a data plan I won’t be using.
So I’d get a flip phone for emergencies but otherwise I’d give up smartphones and tablets, what would be the point?
Understand that i am NOT trying to talk politics, I’m really asking about Net Neutrality and how this will affect anyone who accesses the Internet via mobile devices.
Also, bizarrely enough, with full connection I’ve had the hardest time getting anything to load for several days, now.
