That's called "monopoly rent". Normally competition drives prices down, but wireless data provision is an expensive and legally difficult business to get into.

Is anybody selling 3G data for appreciably less? AT&T iPad rates are $15 for 250MB, $25 for 2GB.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoIn the UK, on a non contract pay as you go service, I give T-Mobile £20 once every 6 months, and in exchange for that, they give me 1GB of 3G data per month.
- ahizzle 16y agoJust be glad you guys don't live in Canada (at least not when it comes to wireless data ;). One of the larger providers up here, Telus, charges $30/month for 500mb and $65/mo for 5 gigs... and that's all ON TOP of whatever your actual wireless plan is. Yick.
