Ron Paul is the only man with any sense and principle up there.

He's 100% wrong on Drive, and thousands across the world will agree.

This was really interesting, and so simplistic that a caveman (or a bureaucrat) can understand!

So, when you're placed in the top 5% of users, does the throttling take place just for the next month, or forever? Suppose skelatwork had 11 gig this month, but then never went above 1 gig the next 6 months? Would he be throttled that whole time? That wouldn't make sense.

I guess they're putting new definitions on "unlimited data." This is just a tactic to go after tethering. Some areas, a guy could be expending 11gb per month and never slow up another person's bandwidth, based on the area he is in. This throttling is just a tactic to go after those who tether. Meh.

Why did this post just appear in my RSS feed today. Weird.

Of course, Murray was talking about all of this way before the rest. He was rarely wrong!

Threats have mostly not been carried out, because users keep denying they are tethering. AT&T apparently knows if you are tethering, but they don't reveal how they know, and almost every user can just call up and deny they are tethering. Plus, their definition of tethering is more expansive than is commonly known. Even playing audio in your car speakers via bluetooth can be considered tethering. This is just a way to go after the grandfathered users. Interesting to see what backlash there is to this.

Looks like there are some angry with 9to5mac posting this story. Most likely, they are Democrat faithfuls. Why, you should use this as an excuse that you need to raise more taxes so Uncle Sam can get the cash to fund all his wonderful programs!

But if you've ever worked for a business, let me ask you this question. Does raising price always bring more revenue? Why not?

Frankly, both sides are wrong and this whole debate is a stage show of theater. Both sides want credit or to blame the other. Waaa waaa. You're both part of the problem. This mess we are in is bipartisan. Democrats and Republicans love war, corporate and social welfare, and they can't figure out a way to pay for it, other than by printing money and pretending to have a "debt limit."

Yeah, but Apple doesn't have the printing press. This is all political theater.

Thanks a lot, Ben Bernanke. We've had to increase prices twice this year at my company. It isn't a coincidence that the Federal Reserve is printing so much damn money and the price of my food, energy, and health care is going up.
