General Motors Co. is dropping prices by 50% for the 4G LTE data packages used by its OnStar customers in the U.S. for in-car Internet access.
OnStar says it monthly charges will now fall to $10 for one gigabyte of data, $20 for 4GB and $40 for 10GB. The program is handled through AT&T.
The LTE service debuted two years ago. The wi-fi system turns a car into a mobile hot spot accessible by as many as seven devices simultaneously.
More than 3 million GM vehicles are now equipped with 4G capabilities, a volume that enables the price cut, according to the company. Chevrolet-brand customers alone have consumed more than 3 million gigabytes of data to date.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
