So what is this? Will this give users of lets say Android a BIS like service? Flat fee and unlimted data?

They are still going to end up spending on capex.

increased sub usage = increased network load = increased hardware congestion = upgrade hardware = spend $$$$

Dont expect it in SA anytime soon

Yet another glaring example of how we're deprived because SA operators are too comfortable with the status quo :|

lighting up dark Africa. So why does only RIM offer BIS over here? Have Nokia, Apple, HTC and the other big players never considered it, or is it because mobile datat is dirt cheap in the USA and Europe?
