I always thought that cell phone companies should only charge up to the maximum they would charge another customer. However, this won't happen because the profits of cell phone companies rely on creating an artificially shortened supply of electronic bits (limited plans for internet, texting, and even talking) that artifically inflate the price of these services. And what company would ever sacrafice profits? Agreed. I always thought that cell phone companies should only charge up to the maximum they would charge another customer.

If the data plan is $100, then the family should pay no more than that. It costs Verizon no more to provide a person without a data plan than someone with a data plan.
