I wish it was still easy to clone a SIM card to use in a data only device. I don't have to pay to use multiple TVs on my cable account unless I want extra services, I don't have to pay per phone I put on my land line, I don't have to pay per computer to plug into my cable modem. Why pay more to use the same amount of bandwidth. I won't be using my iPad AND my iPhone data at the same time.
@WizWithTheBone Strange because I was told you are. Greater risk if you have more than one car, and u dont mean it getting nicked. Some thing on the lines of how different each car gets driven.
Car insurance is a lousy example, your car can suffer a total loss, and be parked in your garage. Also, insurance isn't a service in the same way that Internet, Telephone, and Cable are. I don't know about you, but I hope to never have to use my Auto and Homeowners insurance, on the other hand, I use my voice minutes, internet (wired and wireless), and cable (iptv) daily.
@BAGAGT1 I'd be 100% OK with paying a little extra for a second SIM. Maybe add $10 onto my current AT&T bill to have unlimited data on an iPad 3G or to use an air card. But paying another $60 for an air card or $30 for an iPad is just too much when I'm already paying them $160 a month for 2 iPhones.
And yes, insurance is different. Someone can break into my 2nd car, or steal my 2nd car or crash into my 2nd car regardless of if I'm driving it. Chances are if my iPad is off and not in use, its not using any bandwidth.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.

@icase81
well, you pay per 'land line', you pay per internet connection ('per modem')
the cellular equivalent is that you pay per SIM
and just because _you_ won't be using both at the same time doesn't mean noone would consider "sharing" one data plan.
@icase81
add the "car insurance" example to that .... you won't use both cars at the same time, you pay the insurance for both though.
@Fliesen
but you get a second car discount not full rate
