Personally I am fine with the ability to communicate things when you want to communicate and how you want to do so with minor qualifications.
1. SMS as a service costing money per use or in packages is redundant and ridiculous. Twitter serves the same role same as any other form of IM over data link. I don't have texting, don't send me a text it cost me money, that's my complaint. 2. This policy of providers of openness first privacy second has to go. I use the ability to share details about my life with people all the time but only the people but I choose to do so with. As long as privacy rules default to deny everything by default and have granular allow to few, I am fine with it. 3. Mobile data is just too damn expensive and too damn limited to be useful. $5/mo per GB shared by my entire family plan would be acceptable until then I go without mobile data also. ( yes, I have a smartphone and have managed to sidestep the forced data plan by opting for data-block on all lines, wifi or die!) That said, the texters who sit and text rather than talk to the person sitting in front of them is a little ridiculous. Same goes if they are still using sms instead of just taking advantage of data services, for as long as they pay for these stupid little text packages real data access will never come down in price.
