Suckers and phones and freedom

People are so selfish, they always miss the real issue. People were excited that the I-Phone can now use skype, that means you don't have to pay for the call, it uses the internet rather than your phone carrier. This is just days after AT&T announced they were going to limit data plans for the I-Phone.

Now just in case you don't get it, skype (free phone calls) uses the data plan not the cell plan. If you use skype you use up time in the data plan. I do hope you understand. You might assume that AT&T is charging more for the data plan because they want the cell phone charges. Assume that if it pleases you.

On the other hand, the federal government is making universal wi-fi a priority. Once completed you can access the net using your cell phone for free. Will you pay AT&T if you can get the same service for free? I doubt it.
