Yeah, I'm pretty bitter and pessimistic, I know. Without an obvious fountain of profit, I can't see any of the current carriers offering true high-speed data networks any time soon... They're only offering these things they call "unlimited data" because they know they can squeeze you in other ways.... Can you do good VoIP over this data-only plan? Is that $40 all you have to pay (no 3 year contracts, etc)? How much do the devices to access this network cost?

I hope you're right Benson. I really do.
