at&t raising their upgrade fees?

So when your contract with at&t expires this year, and you want to get the shiny new phones that are the hot, shiny new item, expect to pay a little more for the "new Hottness".  How much more?  try double on for size.  That's right they raised the upgrade fee from $18 to $36.  They apparently make more money when you keep the same phone.  So when the Iphone 5 comes out later this year, are you going to pay the extra bucks for the increased fee, or are you going to wait until the price of the phone comes down, to offset the price of the the upgrade fee.  Something else to keep in the back of your mind, how are the cell phone makers going to respond to the climbing rates that the providers are charging.  How will you respond??   leave your comments, and concerns below, and let us know what you think.  until next time, keep it real!!
