ATT started a test run for 100 Kbps GPRS in Seattle a couple of weeks
ago:

The test run involves two companies exclusively and the service so far
only works with the Motorola Timeport 7382i. The test run is a prelude to
the nationwide GPRS rollout set for the end of September. At that time, it
will work on two phones and will be available everywhere ATT TDMA service
is available now. It will work with laptops and provide them with 100 Kbps
connectivity.

I got this info from 1-800-888-7600.

I didn't see anything about a flat rate in the Wired article. :(

In other news, 3G asignments are going to be delayed...
