AT&T hopes to fool the youth of America into paying way too much for
digital music.
Today, the big-name telco announced that it will soon offer wireless
access to Napster, the subscription-based digital music service. But
it's ignoring the subscription bit. AT&T is giving certain cell phone
owners the power to actually purchase and download songs from the
service, charging $7.49 for a group of five tunes and $1.99 for
individual tracks.
Yes, that price is high. But AT&T's director of premium content Rob
Hyatt is confident that "young music fans" won't notice.

iTunes - still only 99 cents each per download, and available on your
WiFi connected iPhone now.

Yep. And I'm sure iPhone customers appreciate the irony that they can't
use their "unlimited" cellular data plan to download songs.
I can see the ads now: "iTunes- only $0.99 for your AT&T iPhone.
Anywhere T-Mobile Hotspots are available..." ;-)

You're the only one who seems to be complaining.
I prefer to download where I get fast connection. Who wants to download
a movie from a phone line?

No one, but a song would certainly be doable.
