The Most Expensive Download Of All Time

Here is a story where we can learn about the marketing mobile phone company lies.
The story comes from:

****************

A world renowned mobile phone company recently reported charging a subscriber in excess of $66,000 for downloading three full length movies from the internet via his mobile phone.

The user was subscribed to the Vodafone “Connect 600” service, offering “unlimited downloading”, which when reading the fine print actually meant 600 megabytes every two months!

As each movie was a massive 600-700 MB, it is easy to see why the Italian gentleman ran up a bill for $66,000! He has since appealed to the consumer authorities for assistance in paying his bill, but it is not clear whether any help has been forthcoming.

The moral of this story is, read the fine print.
