Totally agree. I thought of that later (and I wasn’t sure how well it fit into the narrative of my original comment/the article) and wrote about what they did to the carriers here [1].
I remember when I got my RAZR, it was the first phone I had that could play video. I was able to watch a 3m cartoon from Boomerang (Tom and Jerry or something like that). The quality was surprisingly good.
It used up 60-70% of my battery and the little phone got very hot.
And that was a $15/month service.
And let’s not formget the mapping ‘services’ that Google and Apple completely killed.
