10.95 a month. The other option is $2.95 per 24 hours after the first use.
So far it has been worth it.
In regard to the "open garden" issue - we are starting to see the big
companies do their proprietary number and shut out any innovation that they
do not control. This whole move to charge for bandwidth is an innovation
killer.
Where is the Open Network that will support the development of outstanding
innovative applications built on the technology that is emerging. I still
would like to dump my PDA, my IPod and my cell phone for a universal
appliance that integrated all those functions without the limitations I
currently see on the market. I know a lot of people like their Treos and
Blackbarries, but I find them too limited. Input is still a barrier whether
you use thumbs or handwriting recoginition.
When we have an open network, we can drive the prices down of the Verizons
and others. And those who are open today are doing it because they are
trying to develop competitive products on the developers time and dime.
Once they have their killer app - they will close down too. Only Tivo has
been true to the spirit of a partially open platform.
Cordially,

At least $5/mo and probably more, I'm guessing?
