Breaking the Logjam: Virgin Mobile Planning to Offer 30-days of Unlimited 3G for $40 Pre-Paid

The major mobile carriers in the U.S. all charge $60 per month for 3G wireless data generally limited to 5GB in a month. These plans generally require a 2-year commitment. There are also very expensive limited period 3G plans. AT&T charges $25 per month for 2GB of 3G data for the iPad 3G. This plan is month-to-month and does not require a contract.
