AT&T today took the wraps off new shared data plans that look very similar to the plans Verizon Wireless recently introduced, but as my colleague Kevin Fitchard discusses here there are two key differences: AT&T’s plans are slightly more affordable, and they’re optional.

So AT&T has an edge among savvy users of mobile data.
