AT&T whips up international iPhone data plan, also adding iTunes radio? {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2007 2:50PM DickHardKnocks - that would be because AT&T is being charged themselves out the wahzoo for customer's international usage. Why wouldn't any carrier not want to exploit the easiest method of communication for international travelers?
Don't kid yourself into thinking that companies aren't out their to make a PROFIT.
A monthly plan allows AT&T or any company to recoup the costs of providing international roaming -- special billing systems, customer service departments, long distance contracts (all things that you can't expect to just come and go at the whims of YOUR usage), and per minute rates that are attractive to consumers but really have a very low profit margin for the company.
AT&T whips up international iPhone data plan, also adding iTunes radio? {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2007 2:39PM "Update 2: Bonus -- we have confirmation from AT&T that it's not contractual, meaning you can sign up for the Data Global Plan before you hit up a trip and then drop it when you return. We don't have pro-rating details, but we're sure you'll work it out."
-- Not quite! You can drop the data plan after you are -billed- for the international data usage -- not right after you return. International usage isn't recorded live like domestic usage is, it comes in batches, and the rates you are charged, for that usage, are dependent on what discounted features (or lack thereof) you have on your account at that point and time.

Apple TV: Why the delay? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 28th 2007 11:42PM FCC Approval is really unlikely. More than likely this unit just has a mini pci card in it like any other stand-alone 802.11? device. The wireless transmitter should already have been filed for through the manufacturer and approved by the FCC. As long as there has not been any modifications to the card or the addition of internal antennas that fall outside of the bounds of the original specs there would be no reason Apple would have to file for approval for that portion of the device.
More than likely this is a delay due to HD content , and an upgrade to iTunes to fully support the device as other users have said.

Mar 20th 2006 11:59PM Let me just go on to say WTF LG? They make nice phones for CDMA, whats up with all the crap they release on GSM? Same thing goes for Samsung. The only companies you can count on for GSM in the US seem to by Moto, Nokia and SE.
