And again......do you expect therm to have you 'accept' every kilobyte of
data as it is transmitted? Give you a running total while you are using
data? Of course, you'll have to stop whatever you're doing to accept the
charges every time. It won't happen and is an unfair burden on the carrier.
The best you can expect is the fairly timely reporting of pending charges
that already occurs. That puts them in line with the great majority of data
services that sell their product by the minute or by data transmitted.
