Isn't Thiel a billionaire? I don't understand why he would do so much to promote a £9.99 book.

Brilliant, I can finally implement one of my bandwidth intensive ideas! Thanks Steven!

I've just read their main website. Out bandwidth at $0.01 per GB? Has anybody tried this? Looks too good to be true.

IMO there should be some sort of header like

    x-whitehat: autopatch

which gives white-hats the opportunity to patch your system without exploiting. The why I see it, a malicious person is going to exploit your server anyway. This way white-hats could patch your system and not be prosecuted. With this, someone who discovered the patch could scan the internet, look for servers that say "yes, please patch me" and deploy a quick patch and nothing else.

Why a $1 plan? What if that user asks for support, would you value 15 or 30 mins of your time at $1?

I can tell you that this is wrong, I've personally had months where I've used 100GB+ of data over 3G and had no problems (this is on a £15 top-up). I don't know if they throttle or not, I've never really noticed it.

I didn't get my handset from Three but I've been able to tether in Paris and used at least 2GB when I was there.
