ATT and verizon are offering $69 for UNLIMITED MINUTES PERIOD. Many consumers would take that and a 2GB data plan for $25 over Sprint's plan. For people that need texting- I think you can get a limited texting plan added for still cheaper than Sprint- but for most people Sprint is a 3rate coverage (works fine for me) so they EXPECT A SAVINGS and really- with non family plans- there isn't any savings on a 4G phone with Sprint.
For Sprint unlimited minutes+ data is $100+ the 4g tax = $110. Sure- you get unlimited data- which 70% of consumers DON'T need. Heck- I was TRYING To use a lot of data with 30days of evo and I still didn't hit 2GB in 29days of what I felt was heavy for me use.
I see your point, but I used 3gb data last month. I'm not an average consumer by any means however.
