What we should have is a two tier system whereby the purchase of a subsidized phone should lock you into a contract and potentially forgo a single united data plan - but if you purchase a phone for full freight - you don't get locked in and a single data plan is an option for you - and an inducement to stay with your Carrier.
That's a very reasonable approach...which means I don't think the carriers will EVER do it.
