FTA: "T-Mobile and AT&T contended in their responses to Mr. Kohl that the pay-per-use price of a message is relatively unimportant because most messaging is done as part of a package. With a $10 or $15 monthly plan for text messaging, customers of T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint can effectively bring the per-message price down to a penny, if they fully use their monthly allotment."
Those bastards!!! The only reason most customers have a messaging package is because sending an individual message is such a f*&%ing rip off!! It's absurd to me that they think they can charge for something that's essentially costless to them, and an outrageous charge at that. Text messaging should be free perk on any cell plan. I hope congress nails these heartless douchebags to the wall.
Here's a thought: Maybe congress should make the cell phone companies bail out the auto industry.
