at&t Fails Again

Everyone knows that at&t's network sucks.  Now they have admitted just how bad they are. Instead of investing back into their network they are hording the money and telling people to stop using their iPhones smartphones.  So, what happens if  you do use your smartphone to surf the internet, check-in on Foursquare, or watch YouTube videos?  Your bill will probably go up.  Looks like they want to beat Verizon in one more category - who has the highest priced plans.
 The president for mobility and consumer markets at at&t said that the company is considering a "pricing scheme that addresses useage".  Hmm, sounds like their "unlimited plan" isn't so unlimited after all.
So if you are at&t how do you fix your network?  Easy raise your plan prices for non-voice use so high that people will only use it for voice, thus eliminating most of your network traffic and dropped calls at the same time.[NY Times]
