Ah, but...

That's true to an extent, however T-Mobile's approach has been to say "ok, you can do this and this - but if you want to use instant messaging you need to pay an extra fee, and if you want to use VoIP then you need to pay another fee". What 3 are doing is to more or less pack everything (with the exception of Slingbox and Orb functionality - the most high-bandwidth stuff) into the basic flat rate - i.e. make it more like what you'd expect from broadband.
