I think that is a moot point since you would have to pay the full price of your phone with the Google Fi plan anyway. It seems like the AT&T Next plans are actually a credit line with 0% interest as well; if you multiply out the costs, it's normally within $2-3 of the full cost of the phone anyway (i.e. AT&T isn't profiting off of your phone subsidy). For the sake of apples to apples comparisons, it seems like the Google plan is not a great value add...yet.

It isn't a moot point. Many people reading might assume that that price includes a largely subsidised phone, since that is what people are used to with the big two.

All I am saying is, AT&T's offer no longer does, so it is close to what Google/T-Mobile are doing.
