One thing of note that I've been tracking is this:

I'm somewhat dubious about the following claims on the part of the carrier. This is a carrier that wants to meter your cellular data but provides wifi service inferior to the cellular data to "offload" their wireless network.

Some consumer organizations fear the change will hurt affordable service, especially in rural areas."
