We already pay for the data plan... why the hell should we pay more on top of that?

I doubt Apple will let them charge for it. It would push people towards alternatives such as Skype or fring.

Next they're going to charge you when you turn your phone on. And every time you pull it out of your pocket.

You're already paying for the data so it's bs to double charge you basically

"It's too early" is another way of saying "it's coming, get ready."

I don't think this is going to fly, people will NOT let this happen. If i were at&t i'd be smart and say, think of how many people will go over their data limit by using facetime. Most likely bringing more money in than by charging a fee and people opting for going to starbucks or something to get wifi.

so all these people who are saying "dont do it" or "we already pay for data!!" like seriously?!? a business will do what people demand and put a pricetag on that and people will pay. Mobile Hotspot for example, the phone comes with it as a default feature, the carriers see it as a money maker and slap a price tag on it and also as consumers dont realize that u can just go to the playstore and download Foxfi for free w/ NO ROOTING and still wireless tether for free! Carriers WILL charge a fee to run facetime over 3g/4g as it is made for a wifi feature.
