When Ralph de la Vega talked of penalizing heavy data users earlier this month, the reaction was immediately visceral and negative. Now, AT&T have come out, saying that tiered pricing isn’t their plan. de la Vega told the Wall Street Journal “We have not made any decision to implement tiered pricing.” de la Vega says they plan to try and roll out more free WiFi hotspots to alleviate stress on the network. Of course, this very well could just be a quick reaction to all the negative press they’ve been getting, and de la Vega did say previously they will offer incentives for people to use less data—which just means a punishment for heavy users.
