Back when Sprint came out with their Simply Everything plans, I said that while it wouldn’t bring Sprint back into the black ink, it would at least appease heavy mobile users who are getting gouged by rising cellular plans. And as we look back on the past year or so that Sprint has had said plans, I was pretty much right. They really didn’t cause a massive influx of customers to the CDMA carrier.

We all knew it was coming — T-Mobile USA is joining the ranks of AT&T in actively marketing their data restriction policies. While all of the major US carriers have always maintained the right to cut you off if you plowed through a magical, unknown threshold.

In fact, they’ll soon be grouping an eyeball near you. Thanks NTT DoCoMo, handless operation of your headphones and music will soon be a reality. Operation (leaving technical science out of it) is pretty cool, using the charge between your retina and cornea to...
