The good news is that the carriers are likely to set in motion a
dynamic they can´t control as people start to explore connectivity
and find the billing regimen incompatible with the most important
applications. Will a pacemaker be able to connect home if the user
(AKA human) is in the wrong billing zone?
Let's just hope people don't make the same mistake they did with cell
phones and assume this can be counted on or is even remotely likely to
work in an emergency....
