Cingular estimates data usage 13.5 years in advance
“View Minutes”, as it used to be called, has always been a temperamental feature for AT&T Wireless->Cingular->at&t. I won’t go into all the ways that it has sucked over the years, right now, but I should probably address that one day.
For now, I just want to share something interesting that I saw when I tried to view my data plan usage recently. Click the image to see it in context, although the context really doesn’t help much:
That’s awfully far in advance to estimate my data usage! It does make me wonder, though, how my data usage really might be in the year 2020, if the concept of internet usage via cell phone/pda is even relevant by then.
For now, I just hope that Cingular doesn’t screw up the dates when it comes to my *contract*, because I’m pretty sure I didn’t sign a 14-year contract!
