Apple with its iPhone have shown us that that wireless industry is not about phones anymore but web communication and even web existence. When you can navigate with your phone, watch news and podcasts, read any newspaper or book right away, check current weather condition and even your own weight and overall health, stocks, bank accounts and e-mails from any domain, make pretty decent pictures and even movies, listen your favorite songs and movies on the go along with countless other unimaginable possibilities - our relations with our carriers must be honest and transparent. What's the point to cheat in digital era? To become mockery again and again? Besides off respondents in class-action suits?

I used to work for a cellphone company. It is a racket.

Seldom do I spend more than about $10/month for my pre-paid Virgin Mobile service. My calling pattern may be atypical, but my perspective about it seems to be, too.

As you go out on your next errand or visit someone across town, notice how many pay-phone booths you don't see. I carry them all in my pocket. How many times when they were there did you have the compulsion to stop the car to call someone? That's about how often I use my phone. I'm weird, I know. But even though I have a phone with me on which I can call you to tell you that, I don't have to do it every day.

Not at all, BB! I have the same attitude and thousands rollover minutes which burn each year unused. If I need really talk with someone I'm wearing stereo headphones with crystal clear sound and see my buddy on a computer monitor or even TV screen. And this is for nothing at all! That what VoIP and Skype is. Only one little difference from your prepaid service: I'm shelling about $100/month. Their minimum plan $40, no less. I calming myself down that this is my investment in our future. As when I get parking ticket. And they (AT&T) even closed their network for Skype, restricting my free speech right. Clearly that is the case for class-action suit already. At least.

I still see sometimes ...
