Tie, Dropping to the $20's may not happen for a long while. As carriers upgrade to GPRS and 1X, they will be able to offer better data service, but I doubt that they would offer a low cost 10kbps plan. Take a look at Metricom's plan. It is probably as low as it gets. Even though it is using a junk band, its price is still $30/month, which is a bleeding price for Metricom. I know that Irwan Jacobs, the CEO of Qualcomm, has been saying that carriers can offer HDR at $20/month. I think that he maybe looking at too far ahead. From an equipment cost perspective, he maybe right, but there is a lot more than equipments that the carriers spent money on. Khan
