Yeah, I hope it lasts forever but it's hard to imagine it would. Unless 99.9% of T-Mobile users are unaware of this service (which probably isn't far-off).

Or, worse yet, the users who are paying $20/month for their flat-rate bandwidth discover they can get it for free. T-Mobile may not notice that they're giving people free service, but I'll bet they do notice when people downgrade their calling plans. Maybe, just maybe, they're using this as a teaser to get people signed up, letting them turn the screws later. Of course, if other vendors find themselves forced to compete (offering high-quality undocumented services?!), then we'll have an interesting sort of competition.

Well, it's almost perfect. I can make web, smtp, and imap/ssl port connections. I can't make SSH connections, and it's not clear how many other ports are shut off as well. Still, not bad for free.

(I'm writing this on the plane, waiting for take-off. Wheee!)

Unless you subscribe to the VPN plan, many ports are blocked. Whatever. I'll take it for free!
