Except BP didn't skirt around the laws and safety procedures? Please correct me if you feel otherwise, but everything I have read says that the rig was within spec and safety laws.
Replying to myself, the above comments relate to Verizon smartphone plans. This is what this article is about, Verizon is rumbling about removing this plan and replacing it with a 5GB cap, if they did this to my plan, I would choose the breach of contract option and move to another provider...if there are any providers who still have these options.
I think someone missled you. Unless you are talking about a data connection for a computer, the smartphone plans are unlimited, there are no overage charges for any smartphone plan. They seem to also give you unlimited texts, but I was unaware of this previously as I rarely use text messaging on my cell.
Text message is a bad example. A text message consumes a control channel connection on the BTS, if too many people are sending text messages, it can cause phone calls to fall to go through, or for the BTS to have to drop a call to release a control channel. The cell phone providers have been increasing the cost of text messages to reduce the usage, as the network simply cannot handle massive amounts of text messages. This is a technical limitation of the hack that is the SMS.
As I am sure most people don't know what a BTS is, it is the physical hardware behind the Cell phone antennas:
What choice do you believe you currently have with cell phone providers? You have two Big networks, and many small networks. The two big networks are proving that they don't care about the customer and are making poor choices. What other choice do you have?
The problem is that Verizon is not under the same pressure as AT&T, Verizon has been upgrading their network to handle the load, now all of a sudden, their competitor who was not upgrading their network and is now feeling the pressure has decided to limit people, and Verizon decides to follow along. The two biggest cell phone companies in the USA just did the same thing and you don't think this is collusion.
Except that the person who receives the cell phone bill can have all texts in/out included with the bill. Call your provider and ask about it, it is available.
This is the entire problem with the AGW believers. Anyone who questions anything must be a denier or they are paid off by big oil. This guy just gave a well reasoned statement that included backing statements you can look up yourself. But no, he mustn't be intelligent, he's just a denier. It is people who act this way who give science a bad name. AGW is a theory, it is not proven or dis-proven, and everyone who tries to use data to disprove it, no matter how correctly they do so, they must be a denier. You sound like a religious zealot, get off your damn high horse.
I would like to participate in the study to find out. I will graciously accept the burden of attempting to mate with a supermodel and see if we can produce offspring.
I don't even see why this is illegal. As far as I can tell, they recorded what access points were broadcasting, from a public space. What's the big deal here? You (Germany) believe you have an expectation of privacy when you are loudly broadcasting to the four corners a welcome to connect?
Doesn't bother me at all. If you have weak legs, or don't know where the neutral is on your manual I can see you having issues though. Now I will say, it can be pretty touch and go in snow, I have a very narrow band between stalling and peeling out, and it only gets worse with adverse weather.

WHAT? I missed a ereader for 110$? I would have not even had to think about that purchase...arg!
Except that the bandwidth runs over 3G networks to the device, so they eat that cost as well.
I thought we were rabid pwnie enthusiasts too:

They did disclose the tie in.
But I don't have a wife you insensitive clod.

Didn't seem so bad to me, I assumed you were just reiterating the statements to point out how important they were.
Which provider was that? I wouldn't mind putting some service thier way

tinyurl? really?
I believe he was suggesting suing AT&T for making the information publicly accessible.
Are you a chick?
Maybe this is their grand scheme:
1 Find Gene ...
2 Patent Gene
3 Sue the Gene out of existence
4 Cancer Gone

6 PROFIT!

After the accident, she could have landed anywhere, no way to know where she was walking.
There is a 97.5% chance that this could all end badly.
Good book :)
You consider someone with a laptop spying on you? Any laptop w/ wireless can see this information, it is being broadcast to a public space.
I don't even see why this is illegal. As far as I can tell, they recorded what access points were broadcasting, from a public space. What's the big deal here? You (Germany) believe you have an expectation of privacy when you are loudly broadcasting to the four corners a welcome to connect?
