It's called "MediaNet Unlimited" and it's $15/mo per phone.
Wow. I just looked at the MediaNet plan for GoPhone. $4.99 per month gets you 1 MB, with each KB costing $.01 thereafter.

Yes, the Boingo plan is definitely tempting. I checked it out a couple of times with my N800 (they gave me a free month for some reason; I forget the details) and it worked well. If you have an obscure chain store near you called McDonald's, it probably has Boingo. But it doesn't work from anywhere, so you might as well get a hamburger or a coke while you're using it.

I'm so going to get myself one of those MiFi units when they ship, and I'm gonna see if I can't find a provider who has one, because those will work perfectly for me traveling or moving about with my NIT. Till then, forget it. heh.

Does Boingo have support for non-embedded devices?
Like netbooks, UMPCs, and laptops?
Wonder if they're going to support Android at some point.

The thing that's confusing with AT&T is that their DATA PLANS are only for the "smart phones", like Blackberries, Treos, whatever. Consumer cell phone uses MediaNET which is supposed to be the drivel AT&T provides such as their sites for buying ringtones, backgrounds, games. It got a bit better with an HSPA phone, because I can watch selected TV shows, and do some browsing. I tried installing Opera-Mini on my Shine, but you have to zoom in to see anything.
The way I read the ToS, tethering a computer to a smart phone is what AT&T doesn't like. Since consumer phones are "locked down" by AT&T (you can't delete the dumb demo games they put on there, for example), the fact that tethering via bluetooth works indicates (to me) that it's not THAT important to them.
As always, you sense of what's right should be your guide.
