“Yes ladies and gentleman, the reports of Twitter’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. By the end of June, when the service was for the most part stable (though lacking some features), the number of users on the site reached new heights.”

iPhone Enterprise Data Plan
July 1st, 2008 ·
Today AT&T released details on their iPhone3G pricing plans for consumers. Many people are upset about the $10 increase on the data plan and the extra fees for SMS. I’m finding it odd that almost nobody is talking about the Enterprise Data Plan. According to the AT&T web site (click on the RATE PLANS tab), it will be $45 per month for “when using iPhone to access corporate email, company intranet sites, and/or other business solutions/applications”.
If I’m understanding this correctly, I will need to pay a $15 per month premium over the consumer data plan (a $25 per month premium over the current consumer plan) if I want to take advantage of push email from my company’s Exchange Server. Is this right?
Update:
I’m adding links to other blogs / forums that are discussing this issue:
So far, the TUAW link is the most informative. Here’s an excerpt:
Exchange costs $15/month more beyond that. The normal 3G iPhone data plan costs $30/month. Enterprise data costs $45/month. This buys you access to all the standard Exchange features. If you need to get Exchange mail, or access data inside your firewall, you’re an enterprise user. AT&T isn’t saying they’ll disable ActiveSync and Exchange on normal iPhone plans for non-corporate users so we’re unsure how they’ll police this policy. Our Christina speculates that the enterprise plan sets up the server to accept exchange support; you could do IMAP from your exchange account but if you want non-MobileMe push, you gotta be on the enterprise tier plan.
More updates:
Ryan Kim from SFgate: Technology Chronicles made this update:
AT&T said that if you’re using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to get your push corporate email, calendar and contacts, expect to pay $45 a month. That’s a bit of a bummer because it just adds another $15 a month if you’re just trying to get your corporate email.
