AMP'd Mobile files for Chapter 11

Awww Crap;

Now everyone is going to trot out platitudes that MVNO's dont work and that mobile carriers shouldn't be getting into content or providing all you can eat services and other non-innovative junk like that.

I'm not an AMP'd user (I have to use GSM because of the amount of international travel I do) but I can certainly say I appreciate the amount of effort they have been putting into content deals and bringing out all you can eat services that are outside the box.

Hopefully this is just a temporary measure - otherwise we are going to be stuck in the dark ages of 'beige' mobile plans forever.


Cheers,
Dean
P.S. I just came across Om Maliks post on this - http://gigaom.com/2007/06/02/ampd-bankruptcy/ a very different take to my own views.
