You see, 3G is the golden goose for wireless carriers. It’s technology that turns their networks from boring voice systems to multi-functional data systems. They’re going from being a diner offering three specials/day to a restaurant with a huge buffet. This buffet is enticing and offers something for pretty much everyone but you’ll have to pay for it.

And that’s the part I like. The phone has never been my medium of choice. Too disruptive, too many factors to take into consideration.
Looking forward to when the golden goose has de-valued data to such a point it’s as cheap as broadband has become.
