$3,500 Cell Bill

By Glenn Fleishman

Joi Ito’s roaming comes home: $3,500 bill for mostly data (3rd item): Ito is a former venture capitalist and deeply involved with two companies I hold dear: Technorati (which tells me when folks link to this site) and Movable Type (which powers this site). But even such a globe-spanning sophisticate such as he can get it socked to him.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Ito’s $3,500 cell bill, $2,800 of which was for cell data roaming charges representing 188 Mb of transfers, will appear in the next issue of Wired magazine.
