The Unofficial Apple Weblog talks about The curious case of how bad AT&T sucks Episode 2: Just the Internet - every last bit of it . "Both David Pogue and John Gruber are reporting that their first post-iPhone bill from AT&T includes multiple pages (6 for Pogue, a whopping 45 for Gruber) of every chunk of data they downloaded for the account period. Now this isn't a rational listing like 'nytimes.com, tuaw.com, goapeshirts.com,' no no - every graphic downloaded from every page and the time and data of every message sent and received laid out in tree-obliterating detail that could only appeal to a rabid accountant."
Comments present the idea that it's not really AT&T's fault. Government regulations require them to list your usage and privacy reasons prevent listing the URLs. As someone said, imagine if Google had to report your monthly usage to you. Still, it would be annoying. Oh and activation apparently costs $36, I hadn't heard that mentioned before.
