Mobile data continues to get cheaper
Posted by Charles Batchelor on February 28, 2008
Sprint has announced a new plan called “Simply Everything.” The U.S. pricing plan is said to offer subscribers “unlimited voice, data, text, email, web surfing, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS Navigation, Direct Connect and Group Connect for $99.99 per month.”
Gad. Now, if there could be come progress on getting mobile devices to use similar formats for display and agree on some software standards, the market for mobile data really might boom. And, you know it’s going to happen.
But, we’re not there. Yet, at the same time people’s habits are forming, new channels are being created. Mobile can’t be ignored, but who has a lot of time and money to risk on formats that may or may not work.
The same week Sprint announced this, they were in the news with a reported $29.5 billion fourth quarter loss.
