I have the same problem as Bucky24. Either I go with AT&T's sluggish overpriced crap, or I go with Comcast's overpriced "you drop connection every five minutes for an hour" crap.
I'm jealous of you, to be sure.
I was going to switch to sprint when my verizon contract expired because they pulled unlimited, but if sprint's pulled it too, that means AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint now have all dumped their unlimited plans, there's no one else to turn to.
Next thing you know, ISPs are going to follow AT&T's example with home internet as well, and start capping that too.
Oh the woes of having a near monopoly, it's a shame the government won't do it's damn job and break them up.
One one hand, I kind of see how it could push up the cost of college.
On the other hand, I'm not sure totally pulling it is the right way to deal with that problem...
I had a street corner growing up that said "Gas station coming soon" for 10 years before they finally built it.
Can we get something slightly more specific?
the company's braintrust is reassessing the wisdom of dumping a division that contributes nearly 30% of revenue and holds together a valuable supply chain.
Not to mention a significant chunk of jobs. We have enough unemployed (read: competition to get a job) as it is, thanks.
I'll be totally honest with you, I was making assumptions that, since they didn't call it the iPhone 5, that little/no improvements were made.
That, and the only apple dork I talk to wasn't interested in it.
After reading LWATCDR's comment though, I'd like to point out I was wrong.
Slashdot Mirror
I noticed that as well, I seriously hope that commenter was just trolling. No one could ACTUALLY be that stupid...right?
That's...pretty awesome. Thanks for the information!
Wait, people come to this site for news?
That's news to me!
That might have been cool back in the 70s, not so much now. How long were those delays?

And that matters...why?
Last time I checked, ISPs look for any reason to raise their prices without giving additional benefits.
BT must foot the bill for the cost of implementing the web block
If you use BT as your ISP, guess who's bill is about to go up?
Google and Facebook are, no doubt, going to send mountains of lawyers to stop this one.
make ads more effective at appealing to people in a respective area
Please, please no...I hate this place and the people in it with a passion, the last thing I want is to be bombarded with the bullshit they buy -.-

"Lawl, no, gtfo" counts as a reply, right?
...stop doing terrible things that are worth leaking?

Strange coming from a man who built a company off repackaging the ideas of others.
I didn't sell it for $50 officer, I sold it for $20 and he donated 3 installments of $10.
I wonder if there is any sane human being that supports such a move.
Fixed that for you.
Honesty is the best policy.
...it's stories like these that make people look at you and say "Boy, I sure am glad the government cut their funding!"

and the upcoming re-release of the iPhone 4
Something like this seems to fall under the category of "abuse", but I'm sure the well oiled lawmakers see it differently.
Don't we have laws and such against these? For what reason is this company still whole?
