Right, it's not.

For me, I think the data charges for phones/tablets are getting out of hand. Sure, there are the usual few 'abusers' of bandwidth (whatever the definition is... is), but I think the carriers could figure out ways to police it (maybe they are only phantom abusers to make the rest of the crowd feel sorry for the carriers justifiing the charges). Having to pay yet another $20+ to use an existing data plan which only could cause a person to reach that magic 2gig 'unlimited' cap is absurd.

But, as long as people pay it they'll charge it.
