Very true. I do think that while this charge the provider deal has caused alot of upset, charging the consumer would get an even worse reception. If AvantGo had started charging consumers I seriously doubt that anyone would be using AvantGo today. They might have a few people willing to pay, but most consumers are used to that type of info being available for free.
