I don't get to pick my own plan like I do a camera on amazon.com. I can go to consumer reports, epinions, google, or whatever and get 50,000 opinions from the amateur to the professional about that camera. or Treo - for that matter. I guess we'll see how things evolve during this next election (or if at all). But I think that the key for an all-market solution are trusted feedback agencies.
