AT&T to introduce shared data plans in August

Chris Ziegler for The Verge:

Just over a month after Verizon announced Share Everything, AT&T is getting into the burgeoning shared data game (as it’s been saying it would) with Mobile Share, a tiered set of plans that allow subscribers to split a single bucket of gigabytes across up to ten devices with unlimited messages and voice.

Good move on AT&T’s part. It may not make sense for heavy data users, but for families looking to stretch the budget, it could make a big difference.
