We're trying an experiment! We've posted video for the first 20 minutes of the show on YouTube and embedded it below. Drop us a comment and let us know if you want to see more. (And if you work for YouTube, can you get us one of those accounts that doesn't force us to chop it into 10 minute chunks? Kthx!

COMPARING AT&T'S NEW RATES VERSUS VERIZON'S RATES:
FOR INDIVIDUAL PLANS IN THE UNITED STATES:
VERIZON:
Unlimited Talk = $70 a month
Unlimited Text = $20 a month
25 MB Data = $10 a month <--- STUPID. Almost all users will exceed this.
5 GB Data = $30 a month
Tethering = $30 a month extra
Data over 5 GB = $50 per GB.
AT&T:
Unlimited Talk = $70 a month
Unlimited Text = $20 a month
200 MB Data = $15 a month <--- covers 68% of iPhone users.
2 GB Data = $25 a month <--- covers 98% of iPhone users.
3 GB Data = $35 a month
Tethering = $20 a month extra
Data over 3 GB = $10 per GB.
NOTES:
AT&T's rates are very favorable compared to Verizon's rates.
AT&T's Tethering rate is less than Verizon's
For the 98% of users who use less than 2 GB a month, AT&T is $5 a month cheaper than Verizon, saving $60 a year. With tethering, AT&T is $15 a month cheaper than Verizon, saving $180 a year.
Ideally, AT&T should also have a limit of 5 GB a month, like Verizon. This makes it easier to use video conferencing on the new iPhones. After all, AT&T in the 1970s did envision someday having video conferencing on phones. The 5GB limit would still be a good cutoff point for heavy data users.
I see that TiPb has achieved gender equilibrium. How PC.
It wasn't equal. Leanna was out graduating, so it was biased towards the men this time.
I have a bit of a strange work/sleep schedule and so I rarely get to join in on the live show, but I listen to every episode. So, I really enjoyed having the video and would love to see more of it for future episodes!
Like it!
very nice article.I
Hey, extremely nice internet site. I actually came across this on Bing, and I am happy I did. I will definately be coming again here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit additional for the table, but am just absorbing as a lot info as I can at the second. Give thanks to You
