AT&T To Impose Limits On Internet Services
The entertainment world as consumers know it is all Internet based primarily, and as more and more users change their life to be accessed from anywhere, date usage will continue to sky rocket. AT&T has supposedly seen this with two percent of its users, and the company is saying that just one user in that measly two percent can use as much bandwidth as nineteen households combined. To change this, and to conserve national bandwidth as the company says, it will soon be imposing a 150GB cap on current and new DSL subscribers and a 250GB limit on U-Verse Internet subscribers. For every extra 50GB of data used by the consumer, a ten dollar overage fee will be charged for the purpose of keeping extra usage to a minimum, no matter if the plan is for traditional DSL or the U-Verse Internet package. AT&T is stating that this change is needed and that it will soon offer a tool to track total usage per month that can automatically alert consumers of potentially reaching their cap limit during the month. The suggested data rate cap, which has been confirmed by AT&T fully, will not take effect for every consumer until the data monitoring tool that the company is supposed to offer soon is available for them.

Hulu Soon Coming To Android
With the internet revolution all around the entertainment and media market, it is easy to see why so many consumers end up choosing services such as Netflix and Hulu. The whole time Hulu has been out, it has been making its way to more and more devices, but sadly the Android fan base has not seen any love from the online media provider. The website has just updated however, and has now said that soon, select devices featuring Android 2.2 or higher will be receiving support. While the Hulu community has been begging for Android support, and the site had said before that it was coming soon with it, the market has now slimmed down a bit and is only concerning those with Android 2.2 or higher. The exact devices however that will be supported are not yet known, and the deadline for completion of support is also not known, leaving the consumers in the dark for now.

Marketplace For Windows Phone 7 Hits Milestone
After the very popular Android Marketplace did it, along with the Apple iTunes App Store, Windows Phone 7 is now the next marketplace to hit the ten thousand app count milestone. Ever since it hit the five thousand mark around the new year, Microsoft has been adding roughly a thousand applications to its Windows Phone 7 Marketplace every week. The number is still currently growing, and it will be interesting to see where Microsoft takes the Marketplace, as it right now is the fastest growing store in the mobile arena. Sadly, Microsoft is still waiting on the copy and paste update, but until then, the application count continues to venture skyward as more users adopt into the Windows mobile family.
