There’s definitely something wrong with carriers’ roaming charges. A man in vacation in Mexico thought of downloading Wall-E over his wireless carrier’s network. Now that’s a wrong move in the first place, not knowing what the tariffs are. He ended up having to pay a $62,000 bill. He has negotiated the bill down to $17,000 after complaining about the initial number. These are bandwidth costs according to the carrier but it sounds weird to pay $17,000 for a 700MB file. At least everyone else learned an important lesson from this event.
