RE: An Attempt at Economically Rational Pricing: Time Warner Trial

To put it another way, they do not give you a better price per minute if you go and deposit $2400 in your prepaid account.

Actually, AT&T did (when I last looked at at least one of their prepaid plans a year or so ago for a friend). Deposit $100, get a $20 "bonus". Or something like that. Personally, I do not know how the Time Warner trial will work out (for them, for the consumer, or for other providers), but I do give them credit for experimenting with a different model. Gary
