        <description><![CDATA[The big cell companies have seen this coming. They choose to do nothing but keep their rates as high as possible. Obvious when you look at the cellular data plans. It's only after a large Wi-Fi network is announced for a particular town or city that afterwards, the cell company seems to lower their rates.  I noticed this with DSL and Cable services where in Philadelphia when Earthlink announced they are coming in with a Wi-Fi network, boom, all the sudden all the DSL and Cable rates came out with special low pricing.Jack T.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the mainstream cell companys are trying there best to keep there hands in the pockets of americans by preventing and or limiting the use of Wi-Fi. Tmobiles wi-fi phone is only usable on their hotspots. I think someone need to come up with a wi-fi device that uses any open wifi hotspot and is capable of voip as well as al other IP based functions. To be honest the IPhone has been around for years in the form of a laptop. With just an open wifi hotspot I can use e-mail make voip(Skype) calls and intetrnet. Someone needs to make a laptop in a phone. I will continue to use my laptop and refuse to let cell companies dicate what features I can and cannot use on my phone.]]></description>
