Statistically speaking what statistics are you referring to? More on point, though, because it's "been argued 1000 times before" are you suggesting that it's best for consumers to just shut up and take it? How about you speak out when you're unhappy and encourage others to do the same. Whether or not you're going to change an AT&T policy is not the point. There are other ends that are just as good. If apple felt that more iPhones would be sold, and at a higher margin, if they opened it up to an alternative carrier in the US market, they'd do it in a second once their initial AT&T contract expires. Further, you can buy a data card for your laptop. It's not like nobody is using their networks to connect to the network. And my point is that they're doing it right now, this very moment, and they're blocking BT and restricting other traffic. Their policies make it very clear that they don't intend their laptop connect cards as a users primary connection, even if their marketing doesn't.
