Am I the only one finding it humorous how AT&T and Verizon are reacting to T-Mobile's "Jump" plan, especially in light of their recent "aligning" of the upgrade cycle with contract length? Each has rolled out a similar plan, neither of which is a good deal to the consumer- same subsidy-based service rate, yet you still pay full-retail for the phone. Oh, and if you're a grandfathered unlimited data holder on VZW, no soup for you either.
Even with non-unlimited data, it would be nice if the major carriers would jettison this handset subsidization craziness- over 20% of my bill with Verizon is taxes/fees, most of which are a percentage of how much each line's service fee is- a cheaper rate would incur fewer taxes and ultimately a lower bill.
