$10 per GB sucks a mean dick
Sounds high, but a 10GB plan with AT&T costs $100 plus $15/gig overage, and they damn sure don't pay you back for not using it all.

Also, I'm more than sure that Google will do everything they can to lower the cost if this takes off.

yeah its pretty high. i'm sure they're trying to discourage initially the torrent crowd who can easily burn through 300GB in a month without blinking an eye..and replacing their comcast at the same time.

google has to balance the ying and yang of GIG infrastructure and project FI without cannibalizing the WiFi.

its a tricky balance..but i think they're making those who would seek to abuse this pay for it. $10/gb keeps this venture from getting overwhelmed before it gets off the ground.

I get 15 for $100. They gave me an extra 5GB free a while back.

I wish google could just buy out T-Mobile and sprint.

I wonder what the HHI would be then?
