Mobile Phone Carrier Data Plan Price Drops Confirmed by Wi-Fi Networking News

Wi-Fi Networking News reports that Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, and Cingular are lowering wireless data prices to compete with Sprint PCS and T-Mobile, who have staked out the value-oriented end of the market. This is a quiet revolution, none of the price cutters are advertising their changes on TV or radio.

The Wi-Fi Networking News article is worth reading because it further clarifies the pricing stratification and ties it specifically to performance of each carriers' network. It also provides links to good articles at The Feature and TechDirt. Rather than link to those articles from here, I suggest you read them after reading Wi-Fi Networking News in order to get the proper context.

Thanks for the link, but I didn't confirm the pricing drop, merely reported what The Feature said.

Thanks for the clarification, I'll edit the article to reflect this.
