Ralph de la Vega, the head of AT&T's mobility and consumer business, told Rueters that AT&T is indeed considering a discounted iPhone rate plan. However, this discounted plan will only be for limited, tiered data plans and would cause iPhone users to be conscientious of how much data they were using.
The executive said it would be costly for AT&T to cut the price of its unlimited Web surfing service. The minimum plan for iPhone users is $70 a month, which includes unlimited Web surfing and a certain amount of voice calls.
