Virgin Mobile to Implement Throttling in October
Caps, tiers, throttling and overages
just ways for the providers to limit our freedoms and bleed us dry
I have to disagree.
They aren't limiting your freedom to switch to their parent networks unlimited use network. Swap to Sprint, check your employer discount and you might be surprised how little extra it will cost, not to mention better phones along with a nice 2-year subsidy on a new device.
And they're not charging extra for more use, they're throttling. Bleeding someone I generally regard as trying to get more money. People were upset when T-Mobile started throttling, but they weren't claiming their freedoms were being taken away or that they were being bled dry.
They're targeting folks (like me) who use their data connection a buttload...

"Data Usage Limitation: Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to limit throughput speeds, and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service"
If that is not throttling, I don't know what is.
Other than that, you're right. There is absolutely no reason.
Truthfully, if a company has no greed, then it has no reason for existence.
Cellular phone companies have given companies, in general, a bad name.
Tell me a restaurant that's non profit and open for everybody. There you go.
