Let me get this straight. I can get UNLIMITED DATA on this thing for $29.99, but AT&T charges $59.99 for 5GB of data with an air card or net book with embedded modem? I...DO...NOT...UNDERSTAND. Can someone explain it to me?

I think it means Apple is reselling the data to you from at&t like a MVNO kind of. Kindle does this with wispernet but it's part of the device cost.

I have been trying to figure out for years how I can use AT&T or Verizon's towers with an MVNO and pay half the price than I would if I paid AT&T or Verizon directly. Make no sense to me at all. 😕

It's like Sams Club you buy service in bulk but you take a back seat to registered network users and you lack some pretty basic features. So if you are using an At&t device and I was using an MVNO device on the network they would complete your calls and data and make mine secondary so if we only had coverage for two devices you'd be ok. I'd be up a creek

the wireless companies are making money hand over fist.
