    Potential Data Class Warfare On AT&T

    If it's true that AT&T plans to charge separately to use FaceTime over cellular networks, it'd be a lot like when they charged an extra fee simply for the ability to tether your laptop to your phone — it wasn't for extra data, it was simply to use part of your existing 2GB allotment for tethering. It doesn't pass any sort of logical test. If you're paying $25 a month for 2GB of data, why does it matter how you spend it? (FWIW, FaceTime over 3G works just fine on an iPhone running iOS6 I've tested.)
