LEAKED: Telstra iPhone Plans -- and they'll break the bank

Leaked Telstra iPhone plans show the biggest Telco in the land intends to
milk iPhone customers for all they can.
While still unofficial, Telstra plans, scanned from a shop staff training
pack, have shown up at the Australian Mac user site MacTalk. The news, it
seems, isn't good. In fact, for most non-business, non-high end customers
they are just plain bad.
Details are still incomplete, but according to the Telstra only higher
end plans come with enough data to be considered reasonable. For
instance, a monthly spend of $89 nets you 200MB of included data, but
stepping down to a $59 plan reduces that down to 80MB.
If the document is to be believed, the plans are also broken up in two
tables for each of the different model iPhones - something that could
indicate different pricing for a 12 versus 24 month contract. However, if
that's the case, Telstra's cheapest cap plan is $105 per month, a full
$86 more expensive than the cheapest Optus plan.
