[Novalug] iPhone data bills - OMG!!!

[Rich Goodwin]

It's kinda funny.  With hindsight being 20/15 ... it is easy to see the
issues.  But going into the situation, how many of us would fully
consider the overall costs?  

Greg said AT&T did the right thing - I agree.  Since we don't have the
breakdown of the bill, much of the cost could be from the overseas
corporations. So, it is possible that AT&T ... er ... 'scuse me ...
at&t .... ;-) .... may really have absorbed some real costs.

When I read this, I saw someone who did the cursory check of the plans
and costs and ASSUMED he was getting the full story.  We all do this.
So my intent was to help us all think a bit broader when dealing with
the companies and not getting wrapped up into hype.
