You can't simply remove the pay scale. When an actor like Denzel Washington makes 20 million dollars per picture (I'm just guessing) part of that goes to his agent, his staff and so on. Then you need to take taxes into consideration (unless you're Wesley Snipes). So there's more to it than a lump sum handed to just one guy. Also if he can use his acting skills to get people to watch his movies more than 99% of the other actors shouldn't he be paid more than them? If people...

Just have scalable plans starting with 500 MB all the way to 5 GB. Then for a rather high price offer truly unlimited beyond that. If people want to vegetate on their phones all day make them pay for it. Especially if they only account for 1% of the users.
Of course it's crazy to you and I but there needs to be growth in where people can get to. You can't have a cap on a salary when it's all about supply and demand. If Avatar 2 makes 2 billion dollars at the box office how should they divide the revenues? Should James Cameron only get $500,000?
Maybe a percentage of the total profits is in order instead of upfront fees based on past performance. That's why golf players earn a bit more respect to me than other sp...
