First WebWork for the year

This article (click here) is very interesting.  Read it.

Now consider these questions (in your notes/notebook):

1)  Why is the average so high above the typical user?

2)  Cell phone companies have stopped offering unlimited data plans for smart phones.  Explain why the change between 2009 and 2010 makes this a sensible choice.

3)  With ATT, only users who use more than 1000 MB will have to pay more money.  What percentage of customers is this?

4)  Sticking with ATT, users who use less than 200 MB will have their bill cut in half.  What percentage of users is this?

5)  The x-axis is not scaled properly.  Do you think it should be?

6)  In the end, do you think this is good for consumers now?   Explain why you think this might be bad for consumers in the future.
