AT&T chief regrets unlimited data, iMessage for iPhone

New York Times:

Randall Stephenson, AT&T’s chief executive said that he wished the company had never offered an unlimited data plan for the device and that he loses sleep over free texting services like Apple’s iMessage.“If you’re using iMessage, you’re not using one of our messaging services, right? That’s disruptive to our messaging revenue stream.”

Perhaps if Mr Stephenson’s company hadn’t consistently boned their customers with ridiculous charges, he wouldn’t find so many of us happy to use iMessage or Skype or any number of other services to get around the usurious costs we are forced to pay by AT&T.
