My title was extracted from this article at VON that points out just how pervasive wireless device networking is becoming and how hard it is for the wireless carriers to provide the service. I am really not surprised. How could you not like having access to all of the Net wherever you are? An article in InformationWeek stated that car sales staff were not happy with WiFi iPads because they couldn't access the dealer database while they out on a test drive with a customer. I guess once you start using a smartphone, how could you stop? It's just natural. You can get TV and movies on your phone or pad from NetFlix for $8 per month! That'll congest the networks more! Still, I don't want to pay Bell $100 per month for 3GB of data. Why so much, when my landline Net costs $30 unlimited? Don't worry, the carriers are struggling through technology changes, but they'll find a way, and even reduce prices - because they can see the huge market.

I am sure the prices will drop eventually although I do not think that the prices are as closely tied to the capabilities of the network as the telcos/isps would have us believe. When the law of supply and demand is voided via a monopoly or collusion then the price becomes determined by what the market will bear.
