An interesting note from some Canadian court cases against the big mobile
companies, companies, including Facebook, were found complicit in hiding
information about extra charges generated by texting to social media sites. Not
sure what bearing that has had going forward, but in those cases third parties
were just fine running up the text charges of customers. I can't remember a
hardware company taking a step like this in favour of customers without the
reality of a law suit or a massive public outcry.
Apple is usually pretty good at telling its faithful followers why what they've
done will make their lives better, wonder why they haven't in this case? Or
maybe Steve Jobbes is just messing with us from beyond.
