I can't help but observe that that AT&T (and Comcast, Time Warner, etc.) are
getting precisely "what they wished for".  The internet providers and mobile
phone companies have and continue to endlessly hype the speed and capacity of
their service and the great things you can do with it. like listen to internet
radio, watch movies. check the web, etc.  Now that people are doing those
things, they are complaining it hurts network performance.  Really?  Who da
thunk it?  It was all too predictable.  

 

I pay for "unlimited service".  If I stop getting that, I may stop paying for it
and seek a better deal elsewhere.

Some consider that an iPhone is a universal personal appliance -- a UPA (how's
that for my own 3-letter acronym?).

The fact that AT&T is considering incentives for those who consume lower
bandwidth is interesting...particularly because streaming audio & video is
pegged as one of the culprits of high bandwidth consumption.
