how much of that was actually invested into real internet infrastructure, not wireless bullshit

yeah, it's awfully convenient that they don't separate wireless and wired capex.

at&t just spent $18.2 billion and verizon $10.4 billion on wireless spectrum. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/aws-3-auction-results-att-leads-182b-verizon-104b-dish-10b-and-t-mobile-18b/2015-01-30

now you can blow through your 1GB/month cap in just a few minutes, with each additional gigabyte automatically billed at what i'm sure are incredibly fair prices
