Anyone, and everyone. Actually, people who signed up=20
before about June of this year might even be paying=20
$0.002/KB. A penny for every 5 KB. That was the rate at=20
the beginning of the year, and people active on Vision=20
phones when the change occurred were grandfathered under=20
the old rate. I think you lose that, though, if you change=20
plans.

At the very least, we (customers) would be paying the same price for it.
Sanyo would most likely just sell a phone identical to the vision
enabled-phones, but with a few lines of code to shut off Vision. At
that point why bother? It's the same as if you bought a vision phone
but never used Vision.
