Fix The Pricing For The Wireless Web
We've complained many times before that bad pricing policies by the wireless carriers are hindering adoption rates on wireless data services. However, there are now signs that the carriers are beginning to experiment with fixed price, all-you-can eat plans. If these start to catch on, it won't take long for other carriers to follow, and the price to drop... and, in turn, for mobile data adoption rates to rise.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
