For some time we have enjoyed the "all-you-can-eat" plan on data with the wonderful smartphone. Well, that is changing as AT&T has already rolled out their tiered pricing for data last month. So it just stands that other providers will follow suit. Here is a bit of an article; IBM on Tiered

I have seen discussions about people won't stand for it or they just won't pay for that and so on. Well, yes they will. Or I should say, most will because some will not be able to afford it. We have become used to having it, working or playing with it and we just need it. Along with that is the fact that may businesses are now relying more and more on mobile connectivity despite the increase in security risks. Besides, we already pay for by the minute on our voice plans so why not data. But there's another argument to made that we are not used to pay by the minute data. True, but somewhere down the road wouldn't just follow that there will be just one tiered service, voice and data rolled together. After all, it's all over one carrier. It's going to happen, just as the tiered data is happening now. Someone has to pay for all the hardware, software and maintenance for our connectivity. So guess what folks, that will be us.

So that's my short blurb on that subject. Get ready Droid and Verizon users, its coming.
