GPRS for business only

I was checking out GPRS service in my area today and almost fell out of my seat when I see the prices. $25 for 2 MB of downloads or .05/kb!! This is just plain ridiculous. I am usually and early adopter of new technologies, but I think when it comes to GPRS I will be sitting on the sidelines until they have some better rates...say $1/MB.

VoiceStream is extremly expensive too. I have the PDA plan (19.99/month) but it only gives me 5MB transfer per month!

Additional bandwidth is $5 per MB.

If I got their higher "Laptop" plan, I could buy extra MBs for $4.

That is ludicrous! Just browsing around for a couple of minutes soaks up all the included bandwidth.

Yeah, it is faster (up to 46k here I think, and being faster means I wan't to surf more. Catch 22.), but most of the time I dial up over the circuit switch network because it is too expensive use grps.

Flat rate! Flat rate!
