It's so sad that we can still say "at least it's not as bad as Canada!"

We're becoming an embarrassment, but at least people like Michael Geist are fighting:

Well, I'd like to withhold judgment on how bad it is until we know what AT&T will charge for bandwidth now that tethering will be an option. I know as soon as I can get an iPhone that works on T-Mobile or Verizon I'm pretty much gone.

Yeah, Apple skipped through that part of the presentation REEEAAALLLY fast. Guess they don't want to be the ones to give the bad news.

Whatever it is, I doubt you'll be paying $50 for 2MB/mo.

Do you really go through >500mb/mo on your phone?

I've personally been in between the 500MB-1,000MB/mo range in the past year. I don't tether or anything, but do stream internet radio over it, and sometimes internet video's (e.g., TED).

If you're only using the basic built-in apps, like email, web, and maps, and you buy all Apps over your Cable/DSL line at home and install via iTunes, you'll probably not go above 500MB.

But once you throw multi-media into the mix, and buying apps over the wire, it's a different story. 500MB becomes quite tiny.

I fully agree on this point, I've been on the 500mb plan for over 6 months now and I never past 500mb. Sure now there's supposed to be tethering, but that's a hole different story.
