Have we reached a point where the quality of our mobile devices and the speed of our wireless networks have created something that is just too expensive? To paraphrase J.P. Morgan, if you have to ask the price of your data plan, maybe you can't afford it.
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Until next week...
