I'm kind of thinking that until AT&T can improve the amount of bits that they can pass, this is probably a good thing for all.

Then we'll become a nation of streaming-media-addicted zombies who don't even look up to speak to others passing us on the street. Of course, natural selection will kick in as they start stepping out in front of cars whose drivers are glued to their devices as well. :~) Seriously, AT&T may be thinking in terms of their own "streaming TV", and not wanting to help a competitor. Can't say that I blame them, but I'm not sure that will pass the FCC. Maybe one day someone will come out with a seperate cell network just for making phone calls. :~)
