Who's stopping the advancement to the Web of Physical Things?

There is one important thing stopping us from reaching "A Web of Physical Things" (all kinds of things talking to each other via Internet to serve us better) that everyone seems to be ignoring, it is: The ridiculously high cost of a (real) high speed broadband Internet connection and high speed wireless/cellular carrier plans.

Let's face it! sooner than later just 1 person will need at least a couple of dozen (24/7 available, 99.99% uptime) connections for their multiple portable devices, car, pets and to connect to a Smart Home full of connected appliances (like the Nest thermostat, ovens, refrigerators, etc.).

The 'broadband provider-wireless carrier MAFIAS' are making this 'beautiful future' hard to reach making it expensive and difficult (as usual) instead of accessible and easy for both the general public and manufacturers.

Confusing and expensive data plans, different network standards (GSM/CDMA) and even something really annoying and deceiving like branding the same device with different names and with their carrier logos.

The wireless carriers and broadband providers need to stop squeezing our wallets and start providing what we really need: "A comprehensive range of fairly priced UNLIMITED Data Plans for both Individuals and Families is needed".

A plan like that should start at $99.99 for individuals and it should include your home's broadband connection and unlimited cellular connections any GSM/CDMA device you may have, let's say 1 car, 1 tablet, 1 cellphone, and with the option of adding more GSM devices at will, by getting them via mail and registering them on a website. No hassles, no confusing plans, no re-branding of the same stuff with the same specs, no data limits and just 1 bill for all your devices should be the standard.

For businesses, let them have unlimited plans, so they can track trucks with GSM/GPS devices, let them have RF-ID stickers that communicate freely with their warehouses and let them make payments and logistics easier for customers, etc.

If we don't get rid of these retrograde carriers or at least try to change the way the operate, we won't evolve towards the Internet of things.
