I don’t like the throttle, and would rather that overages eat up my minutes (hell, 100 minutes a gig sounds fair). But, a throttle’s better than 10 bucks for potentially going 1 or 2 megs over the threshold.

AT&T has lost their edge and did so when they became beholden to the iPhone. Now they’ll have to really work hard to keep the momentum.

They need to focus on better infrastructure, maybe sit back and observe for a little bit, and then really see where the market goes, while doing just enough to remain relevant but not try to compete, openly, with a market that’s about to take a very sharp turn–as these things do.

The cloud bubble pop? The mobile bubble pop? The second tech bubble pop?

The booty pop? [just threw that in to see if anyone's alive out there]
