Is iPhone’s success – gulp – hurting AT&T?

The Wall Street Journal’s Martin Peers reports today that the influx of iPhone users – including next year’s entire crop of Mizzou journalism school students – is taxing the AT&T network more than it can stand, and recommends that wireless carriers drop unlimited data plans altogether.

Mr. Peers’s recommendation is based on findings that iPhone users are true bandwidth hogs, despite paying the same $30 rate for unlimited data as users of other smartphones.
