And their walled garden is free. This is a very smart model for most consumers, as they only use "web" access when they need it and would in many cases save money over a monthly data fee. Plus the Boost model of free access to the walled garden allows for not data cost to be tacked onto a purchase, of say a ringtone. Just think, that without a data plan a $5 ringtone could end up costing you $20 in data fees...dirty little secret I know.<br><br>This also opens the door for GPS and data on demand as most customers would like to use it. I hope that other carriers could adopt this model for casual users. Maybe it would lead to greater adoption.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shaniac]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 1st 2007 9:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alltel intros "Day Pass" mobile web access]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/01/alltel-intros-day-pass-mobile-web-access/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/01/alltel-intros-day-pass-mobile-web-access/</guid><description><![CDATA[For casual wireless data users, this is the best feature ever.
