Well, show me evidence that it costs more to get "certifications" for 3G modems that provide voice + data, as opposed to 3G modems that provide data only. You can't tell me that you can say, "my intent is to only use this for data," and the FCC will say, "ok, then, you get the special data-only reduced rate," if the hardware for both is the same.

You are vaguely appealing to authority, but then you can't cite the authority. The burden of proof is yours, so until you can provide that proof, I win.

By the way, I really want to lose this. I don't want to pay $500+ for the m5.
