That is not true. They will price themselves out of the market.

In fact, they are about to change the game completely for data...law of unintended consequences, in that, the iPad will be available for a $30usd/mo unlimited data plan and no contract. That no contract thing is a big deal, particularly because consumer pressure has made them turn on access to apps like Fring and Skype over the 3G network.

At&t sees the apple universe as such a valuable carrot, that they are willing to spend billions in upgrading the 3G/4G networks as they can and dealing with the bad press/ customer service hell as they SLOWLY upgrade it.
