Alright, nerys, you seem to like your gas station analogy, so here's one for you.

All cars made previous to 2008 had 30 gallon gas tanks (email and web, but not always connected), and the gas station sold subscriptions for 5 fill-ups during a month's time for $30.

Now 2008 comes around and there are new cars with 50 gallon gas tanks (email and web, AND always on web services as well), so the gas station decides if you have one of these vehicles they are going to charge you $40 for 5 fill-ups during a month's time.

This seems reasonable because the tanks are bigger. You may say "but I don't get 5 fill ups a month!" That's fine, and you may not, but you have the ability to if needed.

Another analogy would be insurance. You pay a certain amount a month to cover IF something happens to your car. If you get a new car with more features you will be charged more because the company would have to pay more if you were in an accident. Same with Sprint. You may use data sparingly now, but Sprint doesn't know how much you would use if given a newer phone with "always on" services like the Pre or Android.

Anyway, sorry you don't like what the company is doing. Maybe you should get a degree and start working your way up the company ladder, become CEO and then YOU can decide how much to charge your customers.
