It will get "better" yet... |

Vodafone in the UK started offering an "unlimited" data plan. When you |
| 10 |
read the small print, "unlimited" is defined as being "up to 500MB"... |
| 11 |
Curiously enough this has been tested in court now and found to be |
| 12 |
acceptable. So we now have ADSL broadband plans offering "unlimited |
| 13 |
access" (* up to 10GB), competing against "capped plans" of up to |
| 14 |
10GB... crazy.. |

In the UK you can buy 1GB/month from "Three" for £10, 3GB for £15. |

Multiply by about 1.4 to get USD equiv. |

Unusual for the UK to have cheaper plans for anything to do with cell |
| 20 |
phones though... |
