Could AT&T intentionally slow down the connection rate for different types of devices or accounts? Would there be any value in this?

broadband pricing as a whole is going down anyway...I was surprise by the 14.99 point point and the unlimited 29.99 one although I think that even for the unlimited one, it will be cap at 5 megabite. And also why would the AT&T network want to take on any more data traffic?

$30 for unlimited seems a fair deal, assuming there's no "hidden" 5GB cap to screw you if you go over. For a device sized perfectly for viewing streaming TV and video, however, I'd be inclined to think some iPad users will shoot past 5GB easily.

Charging $130 for a 3G radio though is a ripoff. The bare hardware costs maybe $30.

Seems that peering would also come into play. Surely most of the content will be coming from iTunes for books and movies?

i believe the reality is a bit different. if consumers are satisfied(and they do not need tech blogger level of service for satisfaction, the key is that users do not experience regular total non usability but slower than wired and/or wifi could be acceptable) with the 3g experience on the iPad than wifi based tethering of there laptop, other portable devices and even desktops will start to take off in a very big way. this capability will begin to be demanded as mandatory and the carriers will have little choice but to offer up.

i happen to believe it can indeed be done and done well but require a concept of millions of tiny cell sites perhaps on top of city light posts.
