Virtually all of this is laughably stupid, but there's one thing buried in there that's true today:
> Mobile will be the only computing people have access to and they'll need to be more aware of data pricing.
For the vast majority of the planet, mobile is already the only computing they ever use.
> There's no reason to think telecoms won't take advantage of their position to increase data prices under the guise of maintenance for the towers.
This, though, is straight up wrong, since in any competitive market data prices becomes a commodity. In India you can get a 1 GB data plan for 15 rupees (~US$0.20) per month. Emphasis on the "competitive" bit there though: as usual, Canadians will be screwed.
