AT&T is changing the structure of its shared plans [3]. With the new Mobile Share plans, members can share the data they buy across multiple devices, with unlimited calling and texting thrown. This follows Verizon’s June announcement [4] of a similarly structured, data-based, Share Everything plan scheme. Plan rates are based on the size of the data pool, and each device added on--this could include smartphones, laptops and tablets--comes with an extra charge. Mobile Share will be available in late August.
