AN HOUR!
Let's get this right - they're wanting to run a data intensive app for an hour? Will the battery in an iPhone do an hour like that?!

In this case the voters are the iPhone owning customers and threatening to flood the network on a regular basis - every Friday dinner time for instance - gives the phone company time to plan for emergency failures etc. and to come up with a response re better service.
It's a bit net 2.0 tho, why not just throw together one of those class action lawsuits America is so fond of and have done with it?
