RE: Sprint PCS Rolls Out 3G

Pay per MB plans are just bad news.  The all you can eat plans make more
sense from a user and supplier point of view. I noticed that with CDPD
access here in Winnipeg.  Initially, they were charging on a perMB basis
and suckering in people who could to pay the high rates or had low
bandwidth apps - portable debit card machines and such. I found out that
they didn't have the billing infrastructure set up to properly charge on
a perMB basis so bills were either estimated or moved to a monthly flat
fee.  That's were they are now.  

I think the perMB plans look good on paper so they go with it. In
practice, nobody wants to pay for all the spam they have to d/l in their
email or for that large attachment that was sent to you by mistake.
