Most carriers cheat that way. My carrier is Sprint. Recently I walked into a Sprint store and the sales rep told me that there was NO way I can buy a Palm Centro phone without a data plan. I walked out of the store, walked into Worst Buy and the sales man sold me a Palm Centro with out a data plan 15 minutes later on the Sprint network.
Either Sprint changed its policy in that 15 min window or the sales man at the Sprint store lied outright. You pick the most plausible reason.
It is unpegged from the US Dollar, but is pegged right back to a "bucket" of "various" currencies. These "various" currencies have not been specified. That is why you don't see the sudden 40% increase in it's value (as it should have happened) if the currency was "free floated".

Yeah, one of my old bosses used to say: The company is not a charity and neither should you be. Very true.
