More on the N95 and Skype

Going on from my other message about the N95 and Skyle, here's the original
article:

In particular, this bit:

"Since the client uses a mobile data connection, Skype recommends the use of an
unlimited data plan."

It must be good to be able to have access to such plans, hey?

How many markets actually do have unlimited data plans for mobile services and
how much do they cost?

As a comparison, Telstra's largest data pack costs around $130 a month. That
gets you 9 gigs.

Optus, on the other hand...

It's "ultimate" pack seems to be limited to $1 gig a month for around $20.
Excess charges are $350 a gig.

I've never tried counting them, but north america certainly does.

Thats complicated because they are usually bundled with the phone.
