New iPad users slowed by expensive 4G network rates

http://j.mp/GTL7G3  (Washington Post)

   "That concern put Garry Denny on a data diet. After paying $629 for an
    iPad that hooks up to Verizon's 4G network, he quickly found that his
    tablet was a money guzzler. In just 15 minutes last week, he watched a
    YouTube clip that ate nearly one-third of his $20 monthly wireless
    data plan. For perspective: That experience cost nearly $7, or the
    price of watching a matinee at a movie theater."
