Remember when cell phones were affordable? And when we weren't all addicted to smartphones: iPhone and blackberries?
We are definitely regressing back to when cell phones first came out and were not affordable to most, but now we are all so use to them, that it doesn't matter that we spend at least +$100 on our cell phone bills each month...AT&T is the first to start doing this because they have a monopoly on the iPhone and know that we will continue to pay.
AT&T's move is just the beginning, I am willing to bet money on the fact that Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint will not be far behind to make their own data-plan adjustments, it is basic economics.
Our only salvation may be that Apple fights for the consumer. In this scenario, AT&T seems like the only money hungry villain but I'm sure Apple was aware of these expected changes before the press release came out...which is to say that if this is happening in the US, other smartphone users will also soon face similar data-plan adjustments around the globe.
