Sprint MiFi Deceptive Business Practices

Sprint shows us the Great American Business Model of how to profit handsomely by confusing the customer which was previously perfected by that paragon of American Business Ethics - the Credit Card Industry - and now adopted by that other paragon of Never Give a Sucker an Even Break - the telecommunications industry:

Offer them a MiFi wireless modem for only 59$ per month with a 5 gigabyte cap and with (fine print start here) only 5 cents per megabyte overage charge.

first, why not tell them the overage charge with the same units as the monthly cap limit? hahahaha, then they could figure it out!

second, why not set the cap high enough to not penalize the average users? hahahhah, then we couldnt bill them 50$/gig duh!

here's our sucker #1:

"strange, my usage quit giving me gb readout and now only gives me kb. well its the 15th of the month and i have used 10374560.11kb. how many gigs is that?"

hahahahahaha, poor guy, he cant even figger it out that he's going to get a 250$ overage bill for going 5 gig over!
