AT&T To Add Charges for Prolific Wireless Users

Thursday, 10 December 2009 | by Pat's Picks

AT&T may start charging its most prolific wireless customers, many of them iPhone users, more for their service says the Dallas Morning News. The paper says almost 40 percent of the wireless traffic the company sees comes from three percent of its smart phone customers. AT&T says the decision is more about preserving bandwidth for the other 97 percent, than about punishing the super-users.  The company also says it’s not alone in seeking a change in the way wireless charges are billed and that the entire industry has plans to charge more for extra wireless service.
