Why are such distinctions made? I can't see why we have to pay one price for one service and another for another. Surely the cost of data transmission should be the overriding factor, and the customer (yes that's him, the guy who pays the bill) decides how he transmits his content based on price and performance. Modern phones are like computers in that they handle myriad data types. Why penalise frugal transmissions like SMS with exorbitant fees and let video mobile go by for a fraction of the cost per megabyte? It makes me so angry I could throw the phone down! :o)
