More thoughts on the $99 iphone

Here is another article about the $99 iPhone and reduced plan from cnet http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10162469-17.html

I haven't really thought this through but I am at work so I am going to quick post it. Anyway, I think offering different priced versions of the same technology really widens the digital divide. On the surface it seems like it brings more technology to more people like moblie internet access, but in this case, if someone got the $99 iPhone they will be stuck using the Edge network (lets call it dial up) while the people with the $199 iPhone would have the 3G network (broadband).
