AT&T Chief Regrets Offering Unlimited Data for iPhone

http://j.mp/KmDX1B  (New York Times)

    But that's not the end of AT&T's concerns. Mr. Stephenson said he
    worried about services that could replace the company's own offerings.
    For example, free Internet-based messaging services like Apple's
    iMessage are eating into the company's revenue from text messages.
    "You lie awake at night worrying about what is that which will disrupt
    your business model," he said. "Apple iMessage is a classic example.
    If you're using iMessage, you're not using one of our messaging
    services, right? That's disruptive to our messaging revenue stream."

You meant your "usury-rate" messaging revenue stream, didn't you?
