If you want to take Whatsapp abroad, the press release says this will cost $48/day and include 5Mb data.

One bit should not cost more than a different bit. They are either a 1 or a 0. This is will be anti-consumer just like the shared data plans. I for one use over 30 different apps, paying 5 bucks to use each of them is outrageous.

I don’t see how you could support something like this.
