... and Microsoft got hit for this as an anti-competitive practice in multiple countries, losing all cases and agreeing to a consent decree, and paying massive fines (not that the fines would hurt MS financially)

The anti-competitive nature here is that providers that don't also own content are at a disadvantage.
That said, however, my tiny cell carrier gives me unlimited data anyway (the way things are going, someone else mentioned elsewhere in the comments), on some giant carrier's network (so I have good coverage)

Along the lines of being constitutionally violated by "my" government, I just finished reading Gore Vidal's Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace (ISBN 156025405X).

The United States has been engaged in what the great historian Charles A. Beard called "perpetual war for perpetual peace." The Federation of American Scientists has catalogued nearly 200 military incursions since 1945 in which the United States has been the aggressor.

It further details many constitutional rights we have lost due to un-constitutional laws and policy that simply ignores the constitution when convenient.

The main thrust of the book is how "we" (the US Gov't) may have provoked McVeigh and bin Laden and why it's important to consider that and not simply write everyone off as "just plain evil"

This law, if it somehow miraculously passes, will just further shrink our already eroded rights.
Even without this new law it already seems to be time to consider a change of residence.
