If you have two or more iPads, why do they make you pay multiple monthly fixed-price amounts for connectivity? This is even more ridiculous when you consider that most devices are probably on WiFi most of the time. So, you are paying $mm per month times N devices for, well, nothing.

It's time for these contracts to become more reasonable. Right now they border on being nothing more than theft. Imagine this: You pay AT&T for your DSL line and you also pay them for wireless access for your iPad. You are paying them twice but only using one of the pipes at any given time.



The contracts are for the devices, not you. It is possible to use them both at the same time, so ATT wants your money.

I definitely agree that they should do it your way though. Pricing is part of the product, and simple-to-understand pricing schemes will sell.

In the meantime, you might be able to get creative with swapping SIM cards around.
