Paying for the same data 3x (Score 1)

Mobile service providers are playing the only game they can to get more money off the same data. It's crap and it really pisses me off. They charge more for the same bits depending on how you plan on using those bits.

Example: the new iPhone plans go something like this:

$40 (voice) + $30 (data) + $20 (messaging)

WTF? Give me a data connection and I'll figure the rest out myself, thank you. Maybe Clearwire/WIMAX will suck less, but since it's owned by a Telecom company (Sprint, 51%), I have little hope.
