The Feature notes that cell data prices have dropped, quietly: A few weeks ago, it was $80 per month for unlimited data from those who offered unlimited plans, with lower fees only for metered services. Cingular offered no unlimited service.
In the face of faster national networks and Verizon Wireless’s commitment coupled with T-Mobile ($20/month) and Sprint PCS ($15/month) pricing, The Feature’s Eric Lin notes a host of small changes. Verizon Wireless is now down to $50/month for 1xRTT, but still charges $80/month for PC Card-based 1xEvDO. Cingular plummeted its GRPS and limited EDGE to $20 per month (but it’s not listed as such on their site yet). AT&T Wireless is offering GPRS/EDGE at $45/month.
To quote Mike Masnick of TechDirt, So, now it seems that the entry point for the highest speed is $80, then you drop to $50 when there’s a bit of competition, and down to about $20 when your service doesn’t have much to distinguish itself any more.
